925 Silver Hip Flask – Niello Capercaillie | 150 ml Luxury Gift

A capercaillie in the midst of its call, plumage bristled, set within an oval medallion of fine tendrils – this 925 sterling silver hip flask wears its niello motif like a miniature nature painting. At 150 milliliters, it is somewhat more generous than the smaller models in the collection, yet it remains slim enough for a jacket pocket – a piece for men who appreciate tradition and character.

Material and craftsmanship

The niello technique gives this silver hip flask its unmistakable depth: niello is a black inlay that is fused into the engraved lines, sanded flush, and polished – like ink in silver – not a lacquer or surface coating, but a permanent contrast that only becomes more beautiful with time. The capercaillie itself is depicted in an oval medallion, with its plumage and head finely drawn, surrounded by a rectangular frame with floral tendrils and leaf motifs. The hip flask is made of solid 925 sterling silver.

Usage and occasions

The capercaillie is among the shyest and most vigilant of forest dwellers – its call at dawn is considered a symbol of steadfastness and a connection to nature. As a motif on silver, it is perfect for those who value tradition and a bond with the outdoors: as a gift for hunters and nature lovers, for collectors who appreciate Russian silversmithing, or as a special present for a birthday, anniversary, or Christmas. With a 150 ml capacity, it is suitable for a slightly longer evening by the campfire or in a hunting lodge, enjoyed without rush, in the spirit of conscious indulgence.

Engraving and SilberVerse card

Upon verification, we can engrave a name, date, or short dedication onto the polished surface – making the hip flask a unique, personalized gift. Upon request, we can also include a personal SilberVerse card in photo format (15 x 10 cm landscape) – individually designed to suit the occasion and free of charge.

Care

Clean the hip flask by hand with warm water and a mild detergent, then dry thoroughly. Use a soft silver polishing cloth to maintain its shine; avoid dishwashers and abrasive cleaners. It is best to store the piece in its gift box to prevent tarnishing.
