Hip Flask Bear 925 Silver Niello — 260 ml, engravable, hand engraving

A bear standing in the grass and looking at the sky — engraved in Niello on 925 sterling silver, framed by an ornamental border with geometric corner motifs. 260 ml in hand, weighing 290 grams, a flask that doesn't look or feel like stainless steel. The screw cap is attached to a safety chain, the back is polished and offers space for an engraving — name, date, or dedication. This is the flask for the man who wants to drink his beverage from something with as much character as himself.

The Bear in the Forest — a Motif of Strength

The Niello image on the front shows a bear standing upright in tall grass — head raised, looking upwards, trees in the background, clouds in the sky. No battle scene, no attack — but a bear in its element, calm and strong. The image is set in a rectangular frame of Niello ornamentation: geometric corner motifs, floral bands on the sides, a decorative band top and bottom. The frame gives the image the dignity of a painting — as if the flask were a canvas.

In Russian culture, the bear symbolizes strength, endurance, and a connection to nature. As a motif on a flask, it's a perfect fit: a companion for the outdoors, for hunting, for that moment by the campfire when the day draws to a close and a sip is just the thing.

260 ml and 290 Grams — the Flask that Fits in Your Hand

W 100 × H 131 × D 34.5 mm — large enough to be taken seriously, flat enough for a jacket pocket. 260 ml holds a decent supply — whisky, cognac, vodka, or whatever the evening demands. 290 grams of pure 925 sterling silver give the flask its weight and dignity. When you pull this flask out of your pocket, everyone at the table knows: this is not a €20 item from a Christmas market.

The screw cap sits firmly and is attached to the flask with a safety chain — the lid won't get lost, not in the forest, not on the boat, not at a celebration. A detail that shows: this piece is made for use, not just for display.

Engraving on the Back — Your Flask, Your Name

The back is polished silver — smooth, without ornamentation, with space for a personal engraving. Name, initials, a date, a short dedication. As a gift for a birthday, anniversary, or retirement, the engraving makes all the difference: the flask transforms from an object into a memento. For engravings, we include a free SilverVerse card.
