Material and workmanship

The spoon is made of 925 sterling silver and is fully gold-plated. The floral blossom motifs on the handle and bowl are created through pure hand engraving, without the black niello inlay typical of other Astra variants. This keeps the surface uniformly bright and golden, with the pattern revealed through fine contour lines rather than color contrast. The piece is crafted by a Russian silversmith from the Astra collection, which masters both niello technique and pure engraving work.

Usage and occasions

The dessert spoon is suitable for desserts, cakes, and pastries, as well as for a stylish tea time. As a gift, it is appropriate for weddings and anniversaries, birthdays and holidays, as a representative corporate gift, or as a keepsake for a christening. It can also be combined well with other Astra Non-Niello pieces to form a bright, consistent dinner service.

Engraving and SilberVerse card

Since the surface does not use niello, an additional personalized engraving is possible upon review; we will coordinate the appropriate area with you individually. Upon request, we will also include a personal SilberVerse card in 15 x 10 cm photo format — individually designed, tailored to the occasion, and free of charge.

Care

Clean the spoon by hand with lukewarm water and mild dish soap. A soft microfiber cloth is suitable for polishing. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh polishes so as not to damage the gold plating. We advise against using a dishwasher.
