Description

The 2006 Guinness Encore Harpist badge is one of the most elegant and characterful limited‑edition releases of the mid‑2000s. Produced in a strictly limited run of just 750 pieces, this design celebrates the musical spirit long associated with Guinness, blending the iconic harp motif with a playful advertising twist. The harpist, dressed in vibrant red, performs against the unmistakable silhouette of a Guinness bottle, with the word Encore! beneath — a nod to the lively, theatrical charm that defined so much of Guinness’s mid‑century promotional artwork.

Each badge was individually numbered, boxed, and supplied with its own Certificate of authenticity card, making it a highly desirable piece for collectors who appreciate the rarer, more expressive Guinness designs. The enamel work is crisp and colourful, and the composition captures a perfect balance of humour, artistry, and brand heritage. As one of the smallest edition runs of the 2000s, the Encore Harpist stands out as a premium collectable and a beautiful addition to any Guinness badge collection.
