Material and craftsmanship
The carafe and both cups feature the same continuous ornament: blossoms and vines in hand-engraved silver, filled with niello and fused in an open flame. In between, bold gold accents provide unique highlights—gold-plated flower centers, gold-plated borders on the rims of the cups, and a lid knob on the carafe crafted entirely in fine gold. This triple gilding is among the most elaborate designs in the SevChern assortment: gold on top, gold on the bottom, gold in the flower centers, with the cups also fully gold-plated on the inside—every gold element is set individually. Niello is neither paint nor a coating, but a black inlay fused into the engraved lines, sanded flush, and polished—like ink in silver—becoming more contrast-rich with every polishing. The set is produced by SevChern in Veliky Ustyug, where the niello tradition has been documented since 1683.
Usage and occasions
A silver carafe is not brought out for everyday use, but for special occasions—filled with water, wine, or liqueur and placed on the table. The two cups are intended for two people pouring for one another. This set is intended for occasions where a gift may well make a grand entrance: for a golden wedding anniversary after 50 years, a diamond wedding anniversary after 60 years, a major corporate anniversary, or as a prestigious gift for a bridal couple. It also suits a silver wedding anniversary well—and becomes more meaningful with each subsequent wedding anniversary of the couple.
Engraving and SilberVerse card
after inspection, we can engrave the carafe or the cups with names, a wedding date, initials, or a dedication. We include a complimentary SilberVerse card in photo format (15 × 10 cm landscape) with every personalized piece, individually designed to suit the occasion.
Care
Hand wash only with lukewarm water, then dry immediately. No dishwasher, as it damages the gold plating, and no silver dip bath, as it dissolves the fine gold layer. For the polished silver surfaces on the outside, a silver polishing cloth is sufficient for light tarnishing—the niello remains dark on its own and does not require separate treatment.
Frequently asked questions
For what occasion is this set intended?
For major occasions: golden wedding anniversaries, diamond wedding anniversaries, a major corporate anniversary, or a milestone birthday in the premium segment. It also fits a silver wedding anniversary well, especially if you are looking for a piece that stands out from the everyday.
Can I use the carafe for wine or spirits?
Yes—the cups are gold-plated on the inside. Water, wine, liqueur, or fruit brandy all work equally well.
How do I properly care for the set?
Hand wash only with lukewarm water, dry immediately, no dishwasher, and no silver dip bath. A soft silver polishing cloth is sufficient for the silver surfaces in case of light tarnishing.
