Material and Craftsmanship

The interior of the dish is fully gilded – a taste-neutral surface that also protects the silver from acids and moisture from food. On the outside, the dish features niello hand-engraving: the ornaments are hand-engraved and filled with the dark niello alloy, fired, and polished – a process derived from the Veliky Ustyug niello tradition, which remains permanently embedded in the metal. The handle is an integral part of the design, making the dish a portable piece that can be safely lifted and passed around.

Usage and Occasions

With a capacity of 160 ml, the dish is suitable for chocolates, petit fours, pastries, or sugar cubes – a companion for the coffee or tea table that turns a small gesture into a grand one. It can also be used as a jewelry or storage dish on a bedside table: the polished silver and niello engraving look appealing even without contents. As a gift, it suits weddings, wedding anniversaries, anniversaries, or milestone birthdays – compact enough for any occasion, valuable enough for any anniversary.

Care

Clean gilded silver with a soft cloth. Do not use silver dip – it will damage the gilding – no dishwasher, no abrasive cleaners. Rinse the interior bowl with lukewarm water after use and dry immediately. The niello engraving is permanent; its contrasts deepen with regular polishing.
