Material and Workmanship

A historical frigate – a multi-masted sailing ship with full rigging – is engraved on the hip flask using traditional niello technique. The dark alloy is permanently embedded in the engraved grooves, depicting 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 leafy tendrils. The hip flask itself is made of solid 925 sterling silver and bears the hallmark as a sign of authenticity.

Use and Occasions

The frigate motif makes this hip flask a gift for people with a connection to seafaring, 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 convey quality. It is suitable as a birthday gift, Christmas gift, or an extraordinary men's gift – a companion for a conscious sip, whether at the pier, on the boat, or at home in the evening.

Engraving and SilberVerse Card

An individual engraving makes this hip flask personal – on request, we can engrave a name, initials, or a date. On request, we can also include a personal SilberVerse card in photo format (15 x 10 cm landscape) – individually designed, suitable for the occasion, and currently free of charge.

Care Instructions

After use, clean with lukewarm water and a soft cloth; do not use a dishwasher. For slight tarnishing, a silver polishing cloth helps. The niello decoration requires no 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 you enjoy on journeys or during special moments. Silver does not react with alcohol and does not change 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 melted into engraved grooves – the motif is embedded in the material, not as a surface coating. It does not fade, can be polished, and remains for decades. Normal engravings are more superficial and less durable.

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