Tea service for 2 people 925 silver with niello

Tea Set for 2 People — 925 Silver, Niello, 9 Pieces

Nine pieces of solid 925 silver with niello ornament — this is not a sample set. It is a complete silver table setting for two people: two cups, two saucers, two teaspoons, a sugar bowl, sugar tongs, a lemon fork. Everything matches, everything features the same floral niello pattern on matte silver. What's missing — teapot or coffee pot, creamer — that's for you to decide. The collection is freely customizable.

3,595.95 EUR for nine pieces: approx. 0.7 kg solid 925 silver, each piece with niello hand-engraving, each piece with 925 hallmark, manufacturer's mark, and Russian state hallmark. This is not a price for tableware — this is a price for craftsmanship that is barely practiced in Europe anymore.

Nine Pieces — Complete, Yet Freely Expandable

The 9-piece set is a starting point. It shows what a fully set silver table for two looks like — cups, saucers, spoons, sugar bowl, tongs, lemon fork. The pot is not included in the set because you should choose: teapot or coffee pot? Or both?

The teapot (SW10179, 450 ml) is wide and squat — classic Russian tea shape. The coffee pot (SW10182, 500 ml) is slender and tall — European coffee tradition. Both feature the same ornament as the service. You can order just one, or you can order both. You can add the creamer (SW10191, 120 ml) or not. The collection is a modular system — you build what you need.

The Niello Ornament of the Collection

All nine pieces feature the same floral niello pattern: blossoms, tendrils, leaves in the botanical plant style of the Veliky Ustyug school. No two pieces look identical at first glance — the cup bears the ornament on its outer wall, the sugar bowl on its body, the spoon on its stem. But the ornamental repertoire is the same, the technique is the same, the origin is the same.

Niello is not printing ink, not enamel, not a coating. It is a black metal alloy — melted into engraved depressions, chemically bonded, insoluble. What is on this service today will still be there in thirty years. Silver tarnishes — niello does not. The ornament requires no care, only the surrounding silver.

As a Wedding Gift, Anniversary, and VIP Gift

A complete silver service as a wedding gift is a statement for decades: the couple uses it, shows it to guests, passes it on. Not replaced after a year — but improved with time, because silver gains character with every use.

For an anniversary, a milestone birthday, a promotion: Nine pieces of 925 silver with niello hand-engraving say more than any explanation. The service comes in a gift case — ready to be presented, without further effort.

For collectors of Russian silverware: This set has all the hallmarks — SevChern, complete hallmarking, niello hand-engraving, Russian state hallmark. Anyone looking for a complete niello service from an active manufactory will find it here. And anyone who wants to expand it after purchase with a pot and creamer has all the building blocks in the same collection.

Engraving, SilberVerse Card & Care

The sugar bowl and cups offer space on their bases for personal engravings — a date, initials, a phrase. For a gift that someone will use for decades, this is the right addition. Please specify your engraving request when ordering.

Upon request, we will include a personalized SilberVerse card in photo format (10×15 cm) — individually designed, suitable for the occasion, currently free of charge.

Care: Hand wash with lukewarm water and mild detergent — no dishwasher. The niello ornament is permanently melted in; normal cleaning will not harm it. Avoid abrasive cleaners and silver dip baths. Refresh the matte silver surface with a soft silver polishing cloth. Store in the gift case.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the pot included in the set?
No — the 9-piece set includes cups, saucers, spoons, sugar bowl, tongs, and lemon fork. Teapot (SW10179, 450 ml) and coffee pot (SW10182, 500 ml) are ordered separately. This allows you to choose: teapot, coffee pot, or both. The creamer (SW10191, 120 ml) is also available separately. Contact us, and we will coordinate the overall order.

Can I assemble the service for more than 2 people?
Yes — you can order additional cups and saucers. The service is modular: The core (sugar bowl, tongs, lemon fork) remains, and the number of cups is expanded to the desired number of people. Contact us when ordering, and we will coordinate the made-to-order production for larger ensembles.

Is the service gold-plated?
No — this service is without gold plating. Pure 925 silver with niello ornament. This results in a clear, elegant overall impression: matte silver and deep black niello design, no gold. Those looking for gold can find the gold-plated creamer (SW10190) as an addition — but the service itself is pure silver.

How long does production take?
The service is made-to-order — in the SevChern manufactory. Production time varies depending on the order situation. Contact us before ordering for current delivery times, especially if the service is intended as a gift for a specific date.
