Turkish Coffee Pot Silver 925 Niello 370 ml — Ottomana

Some kitchen objects stand still in the corner and wait. This Turkish coffee pot made of 925 sterling silver does not wait — it draws looks before the first mocha is even poured. Black niello, melted deep into the silver, forms a central diamond-cross medallion with acanthus volutes: a pattern that can be read from ten meters away. Silver and black, contrast without compromise.

Material and workmanship

The classic conical cezve silhouette has been physically optimized for Turkish mocha since the 16th century: the wide base absorbs heat quickly, while the narrowing neck concentrates the rising heat and keeps the layer of foam intact. The long beechwood handle with a silver collar insulates the hand, while niello—a black inlay like ink in silver—is melted into the engraved depressions, ground flush, and polished. The result does not fade: with every polish, the surrounding silver becomes brighter while the niello remains deep black, making the contrast even more striking.

Use and occasions

370 ml is enough for 3 to 4 Turkish mocha cups of 60–70 ml each—known in Turkish as a "4-lük" cezve. Suitable heat sources include gas, electric, ceramic stovetops, open fire, and the traditional sand basin; it is not suitable for induction or microwave use, as silver is not ferromagnetic. The Ottomana cezve niello makes an excellent gift for weddings, coffee lovers with an eye for aesthetics, as an anniversary gift, or as a housewarming gift for a kitchen that needs character.

Engraving and SilberVerse card

The Ottomana cezve niello can be individually engraved upon request—a name, date, dedication, or a pair of initials. If desired, we can include a personal SilberVerse card in photo format (15 × 10 cm landscape)—individually designed to suit the occasion, free of charge.

Care

Hand wash only, no dishwasher. Clean the body with a silver polishing cloth; niello does not tarnish and requires no special treatment. Never submerge the beechwood handle in water; occasionally rub it thinly with walnut oil so the wood does not dry out.
