Material and workmanship

The spoon is made of 925 sterling silver and is fully gold-plated. The floral blossom motifs on the handle and bowl are created by pure hand engraving, without the black niello inlay typical for other Astra variants. This keeps the surface uniformly bright and golden; the pattern is shown through fine contour lines rather than color contrast. The piece is crafted by a Russian silversmith from the Astra collection, who is skilled in both niello technique and pure engraving work.

Use and occasions

The dessert spoon is suitable for desserts, cakes, and pastries, as well as for a stylish tea round. As a gift, it is suitable for weddings and anniversaries, birthdays and holidays, as a representative company gift, or as a keepsake for a christening. It can also be combined well with other Astra Non-Niello pieces to create a bright, continuous dinner service.

Engraving and SilberVerse card

Since the surface is without niello, an additional personalization engraving is possible upon request; we will individually agree on the suitable area with you. Upon request, we can also include a personalized SilberVerse card in photo format 15 x 10 cm – individually designed, suitable for the occasion, and currently free of charge.

Care

Clean the spoon by hand with lukewarm water and mild dish soap. A soft microfiber cloth is suitable for polishing. Avoid abrasive cleaners or aggressive polishes so that the gold plating is not damaged. We advise against using a dishwasher.
