Material and craftsmanship

A historic frigate – a multi-masted sailing ship with full rigging – is engraved on the hip flask using the traditional niello technique. The dark alloy is permanently set into the engraved grooves, delineating the ship with fine, deep-dark lines against the bright silver. Sails, rigging, and hull are executed in detail, surrounded by an ornamental frame with leaf tendrils. The flask itself is made of solid 925 sterling silver.

Use and occasions

The frigate motif makes this hip flask a gift for people with an affinity for the sea, history, or Russian culture. At W 70 x H 98 x D 22 mm, it fits into any jacket pocket; with a capacity of 90 ml and a weight of approx. 145 g, it is compact enough for on the go and heavy enough to feel the quality. It is suitable as a birthday or Christmas present, or as an extraordinary gift for men – a companion for a conscious sip, whether on the pier, on a boat, or at home in the evening.

Engraving and SilberVerse card

With an individual engraving, this hip flask becomes personal – upon review, we can have a name, initials, or a date engraved. On request, we can also include a personal SilberVerse card in photo format (15 x 10 cm landscape) – individually designed, tailored to the occasion, and free of charge.

Care

Clean after use with lukewarm water and a soft cloth; do not use a dishwasher. For slight tarnishing, a silver polishing cloth helps. The niello decoration does not require any special care – its contrasts deepen over time and only become more beautiful with polishing.

Frequently asked questions

Which spirits are best suited for a silver hip flask? Whisky, cognac, grappa, or fruit brandy – anything one enjoys while traveling or during special moments. Silver does not react with alcohol and does not alter the taste. Fruit juices and sweet liqueurs with high acidity are less suitable.

What is the difference between niello engraving and normal engraving? With niello, a dark alloy is permanently fused into engraved grooves – the motif is set into the material, not just applied as a surface coating. It does not fade, can be polished, and lasts for decades. Normal engravings are more superficial and less durable.

What does the frigate motif signify? The sailing ship represents vastness, a spirit of adventure, and a connection to maritime history – a classic motif that has stood for freedom and the spirit of discovery for generations.
