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

A bear, standing upright in tall grass, its gaze turned toward the heavens – calm, powerful, entirely in its element. This niello motif adorns the 925 sterling silver hip flask with its 260-milliliter capacity, framed by an ornamental border that gives the image the dignity of a small painting. A hip flask for the man who wants to drink a beverage from something that has as much character as he does.

Material and craftsmanship

The niello image on the front shows a bear standing upright in tall grass – head raised, gazing upward, trees in the background, clouds in the sky. Not a battle scene, but a bear at rest and in its power. The motif is set within a rectangular frame of fine ornamentation: geometric corner motifs, floral bands on the sides, and a decorative band at the top and bottom. Approx. 290 grams of 925 sterling silver give the flask its weight and dignity – this is not a flask that looks or feels like stainless steel. The screw cap fits tightly and is secured with a safety chain to ensure the lid is not lost while on the go.

Usage and occasions

In Russian culture, the bear has always symbolized strength, endurance, and a connection to nature – a good-natured protector, calm and strong, not aggressive. As a motif on a hip flask, it fits the moment in the evening when the day draws to a close and a sip is exactly the right thing. With 260 ml, it holds a decent supply – for a birthday, an anniversary, as a business gift for partners and clients, or as a piece for collectors who appreciate silver art with character. Anyone who pulls this flask from their pocket shows that this is not an off-the-shelf item, but a gift with weight and meaning.

Engraving and SilberVerse card

The back is polished silver, without ornamentation, ready for a personal engraving upon assessment – name, initials, a date, or a short dedication. Upon request with your order, we will include a personal SilberVerse card in photo format (15 x 10 cm landscape) – individually designed, tailored to the occasion, and free of charge. As a gift for a birthday, anniversary, or retirement, this combination makes all the difference: the flask transforms from an object into a keepsake.

Care

Clean the hip flask by hand with warm water; do not use a dishwasher. Use a soft silver polishing cloth for buffing. The niello decoration is abrasion-resistant and requires no special care – its contrasts deepen with each polish and only become more beautiful over time. Store in a dry place, preferably in the gift box.
