About this gift

Material and craftsmanship
The "Tradition" collection is renowned for its ornate niello decorations. The engravings are individually hand-cut and then filled with dark niello before being polished and gilded. The decorative border features floral motifs in a classic style against a warm gold background — an interplay of silver, niello black, and gold reminiscent of historical court silverware. The golden interior surface enhances the piece's character while simultaneously protecting the silver. We curate this Russian silversmithing art for our silver cosmos.
Usage and occasions
Although officially categorized as a butter dish, this silver cloche offers many more possibilities: ideal as a butter dish or butter cloche for breakfast tables and elegant serving moments, perfect as a cheese cloche or serving cloche for soft cheeses and antipasti, and suitable for desserts and sweet treats — honeycombs, chocolates, dried fruits, or small pieces of cake. Through the combination of silver, niello, and gilding, every dish, whether simple or refined, becomes a visual centerpiece on the table. For weddings, anniversaries, or a household with a sense of luxury, this cloche is a piece that will last for generations.
Engraving and SilberVerse card
Engraving is possible after checking. Add the engraving service straight to your cart; we will carefully choose the area after your order and refund the flat fee if no engraving is possible. Upon request, we can design a SilberVerse card as a 15 × 10 cm photo card (landscape format) — written individually for this one gift.
Care
Clean only by hand using mild dish soap and a soft cloth. The gilding and niello should never be treated with abrasive agents. 925 sterling silver consists of 92.5% fine silver, and the interior surface is additionally gilded.
