Coffee Cup in 925 Silver with Niello, Gold-Plated Inside — Hop

A flat cup, golden inside: the beginning of the Hop line. This coffee cup in 925 silver with niello is made of solid silver, gold-plated inside and holds approx. 50 ml. On the outside it bears hop leaves with a golden cone blossom, designed by Yelizaveta Tropina in 1969. It is a gift for a 50th birthday, a housewarming or Christmas.

Silver coffee cup, gold-plated: flat, wide, golden inside

The cup is flat and wide and has a handle and a foot ring, both gold-plated. Inside and at the rim it bears gold, outside hop leaves on a dark ground.

SevChern makes it from solid silver, without an insert. More models are shown among the silver coffee and tea cups.

The cone blossom on niello: the cup’s pattern

The cone blossom on the outer wall is engraved into the silver by hand.

Niello fills the lines and makes them stand out dark. The contrast carries the image: bright silver, deep black and the gold of the blossom.

As it grows, hop leans on whatever supports it. This recalls two people who grow together, and a beginning that further pieces will follow.

For a 50th birthday and a housewarming: a cup that makes a start

For a 50th birthday it begins a collection that grows cup by cup. With its capacity it is a demitasse size and not a breakfast cup; it belongs to small, strong coffee.

For a housewarming it is the first piece for the coffee table in the new home. At Christmas it easily finds its place under the tree.

Extending the line: from cup to place setting and service

A saucer goes with the cup, and with a spoon it becomes the place setting with solid cup. Six such place settings, together with the pot, sugar bowl and milk jug, make up the service for six people.

Engraving after checking with the manufacturer

The ornament runs across the cup, and it is gold-plated inside. Whether and where a request is possible is clarified by the manufacturer during the check.

This is how it works: you enter your request in the “order note at checkout”, or you write to us beforehand. The manufacturer carries out the check and tells us whether and how the engraving can be done. We then agree lettering and layout with you. If nothing can be done, you get the amount back or we suggest another piece.

If you would like to give a card as well, ask for the SilberVerse, which comes free on request. The format is 15 × 10 cm, and we create the verse individually for the occasion and name.

Care: do not polish the gold

After the espresso, clear lukewarm water and a soft cloth are enough. The gold is thin, so do not polish it. We recommend washing by hand instead of the dishwasher.
