Stem Glass 925 Silver Niello Lotus Flower Gilded — Wine Goblet 175 ml

In the center of the bowl sits a lotus flower — enclosed in a diamond cartouche, surrounded by niello tendrils, supported by a golden background that makes the flower glow. This stemmed glass is a wine goblet made of 925 Sterling silver, with a capacity of 175 ml, weighing 199 grams in hand. The baluster stem supports the bowl as if on a stage, and the base repeats the niello ornament in a narrow band. Warm fine gold shines inside, and the rim at the top and the foot ring bear golden accents. A goblet for wine that doesn't come from the supermarket — and for occasions that are out of the ordinary.

The Lotus Flower — a motif that radiates tranquility

The medallion on this goblet shows a stylized lotus flower in a diamond cartouche. The lotus is not an unfamiliar element in Russian ornamentation — it stands for purity, beauty, and perfection and has been found on Russian silver since the 18th century. At SevChern, the flower is executed in niello hand-engraving: each petal line is drawn by hand into the silver, and the niello is melted in by hand in the flame. The golden background behind the flower gives the motif depth — as if the lotus is floating in front of a warm light.

To the left and right of the medallion, dense floral tendrils flow in niello over the bowl. The composition is symmetrical, but not rigid — the tendrils move, the leaves turn, the ornament lives. On the base, a narrow niello band repeats the theme in a reduced form. From top to bottom, the goblet reads like an ornamental poem: gold rim, niello band, lotus flower, niello band, stem, niello band, gold base.

175 ml — the right goblet for the right wine

175 ml is not a wine glass for a quick sip — it is a volume that allows a red wine to breathe, concentrates a dessert wine, and doesn't drown a liqueur. The goblet is 174 mm high, has a diameter of 72.5 mm, and feels comfortable in the hand at 199 grams. The interior gilding protects the silver from the acidity of the wine and does not impart any taste of its own.

In a row with its siblings — the large Floral goblet (230 ml) and the Grape goblet (210 ml) — this lotus goblet forms the middle voice: not as large as the 230 ml, not as motif-specific as the grapes, but versatile and elegant.

For what occasions this wine goblet is suitable

Wedding and Wedding Anniversary: A silver goblet for the toast — that remains in photos and memories. After the celebration, the goblet becomes the first piece of family silver.

Round Birthday: For the 50th, 60th, or 70th — a goblet that stands on the table at the feast and then finds its place in the display cabinet.

Business Gift: For business partners who recognize quality and appreciate craftsmanship. A wine goblet made of 925 silver says more than any gift basket.

Collector: Those who collect Russian silver or niello hand-engraving will find here a piece with SevChern provenance and a motif not commonly seen.
