Sailboat Tea Glass in a 925 Silver Holder with Crystal Glass and Niello

The sun rises, the sailboat casts off. This sailboat tea glass stands in a holder of 925 silver with a band in niello and gold, accompanied by a crystal glass and a gift box. Give it for retirement, to sailors or for Christmas.

Sailboat tea glass: sun, two-master, seagulls

On the wide band the sun rises over the sea, a two-master sails out, and seagulls pass overhead. On the right, rocks rise from the waves. Sun and rays are gilded; sails, hull and the lines of the waves are drawn in niello.

Holder and crystal glass come together in a gift box. The rim of the glass has a gilded band. If you would like to compare, SilberKosmos shows more tea glasses in silver holders.

Waves in niello, gold in the sun: how the holder is built

Waves, sails and seagulls are cut into the silver by hand, and then the surface is polished to a high shine by hand. The foot is formed by two gilded rings, with a wave frieze in niello running between them. The handle is a gilded, angular loop with a small niello ornament where it joins at the top.

Below the gilded rim, the glass has an arch cut with diamond decoration. The base inside the holder is gilded.

With niello the image does not stand raised on the silver, it is engraved into the surface. The lines are recessed and filled with the dark compound, and the surface stays smooth. The sailboat in front of the rising sun is often seen as an image of departure and new shores.

Engraving after checking with the manufacturer

Which spot is suitable for an engraving, we clarify with the manufacturer before we promise anything.

Write to us with your request by email or WhatsApp, or note it in the “order note at checkout”. We check with the manufacturer whether the request is feasible. We then decide lettering and layout together with you. If it cannot be done, we refund you, or you choose another piece with us.

Free of charge and on request, you can add a SilberVerse. The photo card in 15 × 10 cm format carries a verse that we create individually for the occasion and name.

For retirement, for sailors, for Christmas: a glass for new shores

On the last working day, boxes are packed. The next morning there is tea on the table, and the eye falls on the sailboat: a beginning that looks like a holiday.

Sailors and water sports enthusiasts recognise themselves in the motif straight away. It suits Christmas or a wedding anniversary just as well, when the sea and faraway places are part of the shared stories.

Sailboat or Victor set: one more spoon, a shield

If you are looking for a glass in a holder, take the Sailboat. If you want to give glass and spoon in one gift box, look at the Victor set with spoon. It has a holder with a shield instead of the sea band.

Care: silver, niello and gilded parts

Lukewarm water and a soft cloth are enough for cleaning. Dishwashers and silver do not go together. Stored dry, the shine lasts longer; silver may tarnish over the years.

A silver polishing cloth is fine on the silver, the niello does not get lighter. Sun, rays, rings, handle and glass rim are gilded: only water and a soft cloth, no polishing.
