Dessert silver bowl 925 silver 450 ml

Silver is an excellent heat conductor: chilled just before serving, it stays cold longer than porcelain or glass. The dessert silver bowl made of 925 sterling silver utilizes exactly this – and also features a continuous floral niello hand engraving that covers the entire outer surface, without gilding, with maximum contrast between polished silver and deep niello black.

Material and Workmanship

925 sterling silver is one of the best thermal conductors among precious metals: The bowl quickly adopts the ambient temperature and releases it slowly – chilled just before serving, it stays significantly colder than porcelain or glass. This version deliberately remains without gilding: On polished silver, the niello engraving appears clearer and cooler than on gilded surfaces. The floral ornaments cover the outer surface continuously – no area without engraving, plus a separate niello frieze on the foot. Each line is hand-engraved before the niello alloy is fired and polished multiple times until the depth of the drawing is just right.

Use and Occasions

With a capacity of 450 ml, the bowl is suitable for a generous portion of crème brûlée, two scoops of ice cream, or panna cotta with sauce. 925 silver is also food-safe – a practical advantage known over generations of silverware use. As a gift, the bowl is suitable for milestone birthdays, weddings, and anniversaries, also as a joint wedding gift from a group. For collectors of Russian silverware, its origin, hallmarking, and hand engraving make it a unique piece within the Russian silverware ensemble.

Engraving and SilberVerse Card

Individual engraving is possible on request – please write to us before ordering. The foot or the inner surface of the bowl offers space for a personal dedication. Alternatively, we offer the SilberVerse card in photo format (15 × 10 cm landscape) – individually and digitally designed, matching the occasion and recipient, currently free of charge.

Care

Polish with a soft cloth – no dishwasher, no aggressive silver dip, no abrasives. Rinse with lukewarm water after use and dry immediately. The niello engraving is permanently fired – its contrasts deepen with regular polishing. Store in the gift box or in soft silver cloths.
