Porcelain and silver tea cup: a fluted bowl with a wavy rim in gold
The white porcelain bears fine fluting. It sits in a matte mount of 925 silver. The upper rim runs in arches and is gilded, as are the handle and the base ring.
SevChern makes the cup new at the manufactory in Veliky Ustyug.
Four blossoms on a tendril, gold on the leaves
Below the wavy rim runs a tendril with four fan-shaped blossoms. Tendril and blossoms are drawn in niello, black in the engraved lines. The lower leaves of each blossom and the loops of the tendril carry a border of gold.
This fine gold outline is engraved by hand. Four blossoms on one tendril can be read as four seasons in one band.
Below, the silver stays smooth
Beneath the tendril band lies a large, matte silver area without any design. The handle is attached by two clasps, and the gilded base ring bears a hallmark. The matching saucer is the tea saucer with niello tendrils; the manufacturer lists both as a pair.
For a wedding anniversary: tea in the evening
On the evening of the wedding anniversary, the cup stands on the coffee table, next to a candle and a plate of biscuits. The tea in it is the last pause of a festive day.
Below the tendrils lies the space for a name
An engraving can be placed on the smooth silver area below the tendril band after checking. We look at the piece to see whether there is enough room, and go through the solution with you.
A verse can be added if you wish. The SilberVerse card costs nothing, is created on request to suit the occasion and names, and measures 15 × 10 cm as a photo card.
Tea Cup Astra Classic with Niello Tendrils: briefly answered
How does the cup differ from the tea cup with gold blossom?
Both hold approx. 130 ml (according to the manufacturer) and have grooved porcelain. Here you have a wavy rim and tendrils. The tea cup with gold blossom and V-shaped rim, on the other hand, shows a V-shaped rim and a gold blossom.
What does “fluted porcelain” mean?
The white porcelain has fine grooves in the bowl instead of a smooth surface.
Is the line also available as a gift set?
Yes, the Astra Classic line includes a gift set of tea cup, saucer and teaspoon.
Does the teapot belong to the line?
Yes, the Astra Classic teapot bears an aster in gold and niello.
How do I care for gilded silver with niello?
A little water and a soft cloth are enough for this cup; it is not polished. A silver polishing cloth does not belong on gilded surfaces. More on this in the article on caring for gilding.
Is the cup a wedding anniversary gift?
Yes, for couples who begin their anniversary with a cup of tea. The Silbermomente selection gathers more ideas.
