Gift set 925 silver gold plated, niello - Astra Classic - 3 pieces

This gift set combines three pieces from the Astra Classic collection: a porcelain teacup in a silver setting, a 925 sterling silver saucer, and a teaspoon—all gilded and adorned with the characteristic niello ornament. Pre-packaged for special occasions.

Three Pieces, One Design — Astra Classic as a Set

Cup, saucer, and spoon from one collection — that's the difference from a mismatched set. The Astra pattern connects all three parts: floral niello ornaments on gilded 925 silver, complemented by porcelain in the cup itself. The cup holds 150 ml — ideal for Russian tea ceremonies where tea is brewed concentrated and poured into smaller cups.

Niello — The Black Deep Engraving of Russian Silver Tradition

Niello decoration is a black sulfide alloy melted into engraved depressions on silver. In Veliky Ustyug, where SevChern produces, this technique has centuries of tradition. The contrast between black niello and warm gold is unmistakable — and becomes more beautiful with age.

The Gift That Lasts

Tea is as much a part of Russian hospitality as salt and bread. This set is given for weddings, milestone birthdays, or as a souvenir for people who appreciate fine table culture. The high-quality gift packaging makes it immediately presentable — no additional wrapping needed.
