Historical elegance – the hop collection from 1969

Floral hop leaves, intertwined tendrils, deep engraved lines – these ornaments were prized at the time and are still considered a symbol of excellent silversmithing. The sugar bowl directly builds upon this heritage, bringing the beauty of the original into the present.
