Coffee & tea saucer “Tradition” – 925 silver gold-plated with niello

The "Tradition" saucer combines a gilded rim with a delicate floral niello ornament, leaving a polished silver mirror in the center. The combination of warm gold, deep black, and bright silver shine gives the piece a depth that a single-color surface could not achieve. As part of the "Tradition" coffee and tea service, it complements the matching teacup, milk jug, and sugar bowl to create a harmonious overall impression – but can also be given as a standalone piece.

Material and Workmanship

The gilded rim encloses a floral niello ornament, which is engraved, blackened, polished, and hallmarked in several steps. The niello chemically and physically bonds with the silver – not a coating that could peel off, but a permanent structure that gains contrast over time. The multi-layer gilding on the rim also provides protection and creates a warm accent against the bright silver mirror in the center, which the pattern deliberately leaves free.

Usage and Occasions

Whether for breakfast coffee, festive afternoon tea, or as a small presentation surface for fine chocolates – this saucer adds a special touch to any moment. As part of the "Tradition" coffee and tea service, it complements the teacup, milk jug, and sugar bowl, but also works as a standalone gift for lovers of classic table culture and for all who appreciate the delicate niello technique as a unique form of expression.

Engraving and SilberVerse Card

Due to the delicate gilding and existing decor, personalized engraving is exclusively requested directly from the manufacturer. Additionally, upon request, we include a SilberVerse card: 15 × 10 cm in landscape format, individually designed, currently free of charge – a personal addition to any gift.

Care Instructions

Clean the saucer exclusively by hand washing; a soft cloth and mild dish soap are sufficient. Do not polish gilded parts and do not rub niello areas to protect both surfaces. The included gift box or a silver cloth is suitable for storage.
