925 Silver Hip Flask – Niello Capercaillie | 150 ml Luxury Gift

A capercaillie in full display, feathers ruffled, framed in an oval medallion of fine tendril work – this hip flask made of 925 sterling silver wears its niello motif like a small nature painting. At 150 milliliters, it's slightly more generous than the smaller models in the collection, yet it remains slim enough for a jacket pocket – a piece for men who appreciate tradition and character.

Material and Workmanship

The niello technique gives this silver hip flask its unmistakable depth: a dark metal alloy is worked into engraved grooves, which chemically and physically bonds with the silver – no lacquer, no surface coating, but a permanent contrast that only becomes more beautiful with time. The capercaillie itself is depicted in an oval medallion, its plumage and head finely drawn, surrounded by a rectangular frame with floral tendrils and leaf motifs. The hip flask is made of solid 925 sterling silver and bears the hallmarked authenticity mark.

Use and Occasions

The capercaillie is one of the shyest and most watchful forest dwellers – its call at dawn is a symbol of steadfastness and closeness to nature. As a motif on silver, it suits people who value tradition and a connection to nature: as a gift for hunters and nature lovers, for collectors who appreciate Russian silver art, or as a special present for birthdays, anniversaries, or Christmas. With 150 ml, it is suitable for a slightly longer evening by the campfire or in the hunting lodge, without haste, in the spirit of conscious enjoyment.

Engraving and SilberVerse Card

Upon request, we can engrave a name, date, or a short dedication into the polished surface – turning the hip flask into a personalized gift. If desired, we can also include a personal SilberVerse card in photo format (15 x 10 cm landscape) – individually designed, suitable for the occasion, and currently free of charge.

Care Instructions

Clean the hip flask by hand washing with warm water and mild dish soap, then dry thoroughly. Use a soft silver polishing cloth to maintain its shine; avoid dishwashers and abrasive cleaners. It is best to store the piece in the gift box to prevent tarnishing.
