What is a firebird? – Mythology in detail

A firebird is a legendary bird from Slavic mythology. This magically glowing bird, living in a distant land, brings both blessings and misfortune to its catcher. It often symbolizes transformation, renewal, and immortal beauty—a profound meaning that makes this work of art even more valuable.

Special manufacturing processes – art & technology combined

This exceptional cup is the result of remarkable traditional production processes:

• Electroforming: A method of electroforming that allows for the creation of detailed yet lightweight jewelry. Using an electric current, silver is deposited onto a wax model in a galvanic bath. After the wax is removed, an impressive, three-dimensional object is created.
• Enamel filigree technique: A highly complex process in which the product is covered with the finest twisted silver wires that form a relief pattern. A design is then applied with enamel along these contours and painted with glaze paint. This is a manual and very time-consuming process that makes each piece a true work of art!
• Gilding: This involves applying a very thin layer of gold (in the micrometer range) to the object. This serves both decorative purposes and provides additional protection, giving the cup its radiant shine.
