Caviar dish, 925 sterling silver, gold-plated Niello | Astra Classic | 2-piece set

The Astra Classic caviar bowl consists of two coordinated bowls made of 925 sterling silver: a larger ice bowl featuring three hand-engraved niello flower clusters and a smaller caviar bowl with a continuous niello floral band. Both interiors and rims are fully gold-plated, with the exterior surfaces featuring a matte finish — a set that keeps caviar, oysters, or other delicacies served chilled at the perfect temperature.

Material and Craftsmanship

Both bowls are crafted from solid 925 sterling silver. The matte exterior of the ice bowl bears three symmetrically arranged niello flower clusters with gold-plated accent flowers, while the smaller caviar bowl features a continuous niello floral band with fully gold-plated blossoms — the same aesthetic signature found on the carafe, glasses, and tray of the Astra Classic line. Niello is a dark silver alloy that is hand-fused into engraved recesses and then polished flush: not a print, but a permanent component of the metal that gains contrast through polishing rather than fading. The interior surfaces and rims of both bowls are high-gloss gold-plated — flavor-neutral and ideal for delicate delicacies. The bowls are hallmarked.

Usage and Occasions

The 2-bowl system is simple: the larger ice bowl is filled with crushed ice, and the smaller caviar bowl sits inside it, keeping it cool throughout the serving time. With a 50 ml capacity, the caviar bowl is sized perfectly for 1-2 people to enjoy as a luxurious appetizer. In addition to caviar, the set is also suitable for oysters, shrimp, or other fine seafood served on ice. As a gift, it is ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, New Year's Eve, or Christmas — for those who know that a fine delicacy deserves an equally fine presentation.

Engraving and SilberVerse Card

The Astra Classic caviar bowl can be personalized with an engraving on the exterior of one or both bowls — a name, date, initials, or a short dedication, placed between the niello ornaments. Please speak to us when placing your order, and we will advise you on the placement. Upon request, we can also include a personalized SilberVerse card in photo format (15 × 10 cm landscape) with your gift — individually designed to match the occasion and free of charge.

Care

Hand washing with warm water and a mild detergent is the best way to protect the gold plating and niello inlays. Rinse both bowls after use and dry them with a soft cloth — no dishwasher, no aggressive cleaning agents. For tarnish, a silver polishing cloth is recommended. This will keep both bowls looking flawless for years.
