The hop motif is part of a historical design of great cultural significance.

Finally, selected areas are gilded , giving the hop tendrils the appearance of a golden relief emerging from the surface.

• Niello finishing: the legendary silver-sulfur alloy, known for its deep black luster.
• Partial gilding: warm gold accents on edges, handles and interior surfaces.
• High-quality 925 sterling silver: solid material with guaranteed hallmark.
• Luxury presentation: Delivered in an elegant gift box with fabric lining.
