Hip Flask Bear 925 Silver Niello — 260 ml, engravable, hand engraving

A bear, standing tall in the high grass, gazing heavenward – calm, powerful, entirely in its element. This Niello motif adorns the 925 sterling silver hip flask with a 260-milliliter capacity, framed by an ornamental border that gives the image the dignity of a small painting. A hip flask for the man who wants to drink from something with as much character as himself.

Material and Workmanship

The Niello image on the front depicts a bear standing upright in tall grass – head raised, gazing upward, trees in the background, clouds in the sky. Not a battle scene, but a bear in peace and power. The motif is set in a rectangular frame of fine ornamentation: geometric corner motifs, floral bands on the sides, a decorative band top and bottom. 290 grams of pure 925 sterling silver give the hip flask its weight and dignity – not a hip flask that looks or feels like stainless steel. The screw cap is secure and fastened with a safety chain so that the lid doesn't get lost on the go.

Usage and Occasions

In Russian culture, the bear has always represented strength, endurance, and a connection to nature – a good-natured protector, calm and strong, not aggressive. As a motif on a hip flask, it suits the evening moment when the day draws to a close and a sip is just the thing. With 260 ml, it holds a decent supply – for birthdays, anniversaries, business gifts to partners and clients, or as a piece for collectors who appreciate silver art with character. Anyone who pulls this hip flask out of their pocket shows: this is not an off-the-shelf item, but a gift with weight and meaning.

Engraving and SilberVerse Card

The back is polished silver, without ornamentation, ready for a personal engraving – name, initials, a date, a short dedication. With an engraving, we include a personal SilberVerse card in photo format (15 x 10 cm landscape) – individually designed, suitable for the occasion, and currently free of charge. As a gift for a birthday, anniversary, or retirement, this combination makes all the difference: the hip flask transforms from an object into a memory.

Care

Clean the hip flask by hand with warm water, no dishwasher. For repolishing, use a soft silver polishing cloth. The Niello decoration is abrasion-resistant and requires no special care – its contrasts deepen with every polish and only become more beautiful over time. Store dry, preferably in the gift box.
