Teaspoon Zodiac Sign Pisces 925 Silver – Niello & Gold

The Pisces Zodiac Sign Teaspoon is the most compact piece with the Pisces motif from the SevChern range — approx. 136 × 31 mm, approx. 25 g, made of solid 925 sterling silver. On the back of the bowl, it features two ornamental fish, hand-engraved in matte silver with gilded lines. The handle is fully gilded, and the ornamental panel at the end of the handle is crafted in niello. It serves as an everyday companion for coffee or tea sets, as a collector's item, or as a gift for birthdays between February 20th and March 19th.

SevChern and the Veliky Ustyug Niello Tradition

SevChern (ZAO Severnaya Chern) operates in Veliky Ustyug on the Northern Dvina. The niello art in Veliky Ustyug has been documented in writing since 1683. SevChern continues this Veliky Ustyug tradition.

Niello is a dark metal alloy of silver, copper, lead, and sulfur. It is melted into engraved lines — not applied, not painted. The result is a drawing that becomes an integral part of the metal. On the end of this teaspoon's handle, the niello panel features floral ornaments — blossoms and tendrils in the typical Veliky Ustyug style. More about the niello manufacturing process at SevChern.

The Motif — two ornamental fish on the back

The back of the bowl shows two ornamental fish, hand-engraved into the matte silver. The motif principle is the same as for the dessert spoon with the Pisces motif, just in the smaller bowl area of the teaspoon. The engraving lines and the surrounding border lines are gilded; the matte silver surface behind them creates the contrast.

The niello is exclusively in the ornamental panel at the end of the handle — the Pisces engraving on the bowl features gilded lines, not niello. Three material worlds: solid gold on the handle, black niello ornament at the handle end, matte silver of the bowl's back with a gilded Pisces motif. The 925 hallmark is visible on the back.

The Pisces zodiac sign in the Western zodiac calendar represents February 20th to March 19th.
