Turkish Coffee Pot in 925 Silver with Niello, 370 ml — Ottomana

Black on a mirror shine: a band you read at first glance. We call it the silver Turkish coffee pot with niello: a Turkish coffee pot in 925 silver with a diamond cross in its band. The handle is made of wood, and a gift box is included. Give it for an anniversary, a 50th birthday or Christmas.

Silver Turkish coffee pot with niello: the black band on polished silver

The band sits on the lower body of the pot. Its black stands in sharp contrast to the polished silver above. The body is conical, the rim funnel-shaped with a spout, and the wooden handle sits in a silver sleeve.

The Turkish coffee pot comes with a gift box, whose model may vary. More pieces are shown in the overview Turkish coffee pots at a glance.

Niello in the band: volutes, foliage, diamond cross

Volutes and foliage run from both sides towards a diamond cross in the centre, with fine hatching behind them. The flowering sprig on the shoulder is only finely engraved and not blackened.

A master engraves the volutes, foliage and diamond cross by hand, and then the black niello flows into the lines.

Niello bonds with the silver; it does not sit on top like lacquer. With every polish, the contrast stands out more clearly. This niello art has been documented in Veliky Ustyug since the late 17th century.

An engraving in the foot zone: after checking with the manufacturer

A smooth foot zone stays free below the band. It is suitable for a name or a date after checking with the manufacturer.

Enter your request in the “order note at checkout” field; an email or a WhatsApp message in advance is enough as well. The manufacturer tells us whether the zone can take it. We then talk with you about lettering and layout. If the request cannot be fulfilled, we refund the purchase price, or we find you a replacement piece.

Free on request, you receive a SilberVerse. You get a photo card, 15 × 10 cm in size, with a verse created individually for the occasion and name.

For an anniversary, a 50th birthday, Christmas: a piece with weight on the table

After ten years of service, for a company celebration or for a 50th birthday: this black on silver catches the eye at first glance. It likes to stand right in the middle of the coffee table.

At Christmas it suits people who like to make their coffee at leisure. If you are looking for more niello tableware, you will find it under coffee and tea tableware with niello.

Niello or Pur: the same shape, a different band

If you prefer something quieter, choose the Ottomana Pur: same shape, same rim, only its band is silver instead of black. If you would like to give a spoon with a coffee motif along with the coffee, take a look at the Ottomana set with spoon.

Care: silver and niello

Clean the pot by hand: lukewarm water, a soft cloth, done. It does not go in the dishwasher. The silver polishing cloth is fine on the bright silver; the niello stays, it neither becomes lighter nor disappears. Tarnishing is part of silver.
