Material and Craftsmanship

The deep black niello drawing, the fine engraving lines, and the warm gold sheen inside the cup create a harmonious overall picture. The hop pattern extends over all three parts: On the saucer as a circumferential engraving with niello ornaments, on the handle of the gilded coffee spoon as a characteristic hop relief. The niello technique – a black silver alloy permanently bonded with the metal – comes from a Russian manufactory with a long tradition in this silversmithing art.

Collection

The Hops Collection was designed in 1969 and has since been one of the well-known niello patterns in Russian silversmithing. The interplay of hop leaves, tendrils, and gilded surfaces has stood for stylish coffee moments for decades. On request, the set can be expanded with additional hop cups and matching porcelain cups with silver settings, gradually creating a complete coffee or tea service – with a pot, milk jug, and sugar bowl.

Special Features

This set is a complete gift for espresso and mocha lovers: The cup, saucer, and spoon together form a harmonious ensemble in an elegant gift case with a satin inlay. It is suitable both as a standalone gift and as an introduction to a larger Hops service world.

Occasions and Target Groups

The set is suitable for anniversaries, birthdays, or as a stylish business gift – for all who consciously enjoy coffee or tea and appreciate real silver as a daily ritual.

Engraving and Care

An individual engraving is generally possible upon request, provided the manufactory confirms its feasibility. Due to the niello decoration and gilding, engravings on the finished product are only possible to a limited extent; for individual production, significantly more design options are available, but the production time can then be up to four months. For cleaning, gentle hand washing with mild dish soap is recommended; the silver parts can be polished with a soft silver cloth if necessary to maintain their shine and gilding for a long time.
