What makes this Cancer zodiac set special
The teaspoon belongs with the cup; the spoon and fork with the cake. On both spoons, the silver bowl features the same gold-plated image—a crab with raised claws, slightly smaller on the teaspoon. Below the tines of the fork sits a shield with the Cancer symbol. Golden rims, gold-plated handles, and niello blossoms unite the pieces.
Cancer: Water sign in midsummer
As a water sign, Cancer represents all those born between June 22 and July 22. Legend has it that Hera sent the crab to fight Heracles during his battle against the Hydra.
Occasions for the set
Those celebrating in midsummer will receive it as a birthday gift, often for the garden coffee table. Placed under the tree, it is a thoughtful gesture with a personal touch, and further Cancer pieces can be added later.
Niello art from Veliky Ustyug
Niello art in Veliky Ustyug has been documented since 1683. Every pattern is created by hand at SevChern, with the black inlay fusing permanently with the silver.
