Carafe 925 silver gold-plated Niello 420 ml

A slender amphora body in warm rose gold, a wide frieze of golden blossoms on a dark niello ground, a tapering, gilded lid — this small carafe combines 925 sterling silver with gilding to create a piece that stands out on any laid table.

Material and Craftsmanship

The carafe is made of 925 sterling silver and embellished with gilding — the slender, upward-tapering amphora body features a circumferential band of floral niello ornaments at the neck and belly, with their blossoms highlighted in gold. The tapering lid with a ring knob and the base are also gilded, so that silver and gold alternate across the entire form. The niello design is hand-engraved and then filled with the dark niello paste — not paint, not a print, but a permanent inlay in the metal that gives the floral bands their depth.

Use and Occasions

With 420 ml, this carafe is more suited for smaller gatherings — as a serving piece for water, juice, or wine on a festively set table, where the gold accent truly shines against white linen and cut glasses. Its character makes it a suitable gift for special occasions: for weddings, anniversaries, or for anyone who wishes to enrich table culture with an elegant detail.

Engraving and SilverVerse Card

Custom engraving is available upon request. Upon wish, we include a personalized SilverVerse card in photo format (15 × 10 cm, landscape orientation) — digitally designed individually, suitable for the occasion, and currently free of charge. Each card is unique.

Care

Hand wash with mild dish soap; do not put in the dishwasher. Do not scrub the gilded and niello surfaces — a soft cloth is sufficient for everyday cleaning. Use silver polish only on the unadorned, pure silver surfaces to protect the gilding. Dry immediately after rinsing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the carafe food-safe?
Yes, 925 sterling silver and gilding are suitable for contact with beverages and do not affect the taste.

How does this carafe differ from purely silver models?
The gilding on the lid, base, and floral bands adds a warm gold accent, while the rest of the body remains in polished silver. For those looking for a carafe entirely without gilding, pure niello-silver models can be found in the Tableware & Silverware collection.

Can I have the carafe personalized?
Yes, custom engraving is available upon request. It is best to contact us briefly before ordering to coordinate placement and design.
