Tea Glass Holder Set The Bronze Horseman in 925 Silver with Tea Glass, Spoon and Engraving

The monument in the medallion, with glass and spoon beside it. The tea glass holder set The Bronze Horseman in 925 silver combines a holder and a teaspoon with the relief of the equestrian monument of St Petersburg. A tea glass and the gift box are included, and both the base and the head of the spoon take an engraving. A birthday gift for history lovers, for Christmas too.

Tea glass holder set The Bronze Horseman: what is in the set

The box contains the holder, the tea glass, the teaspoon and the gift box. Holder and spoon are made of 925 silver, and ArgentA supplied the holder. At SilberKosmos, we care about sets that become a gift without any further shopping. If you do not need the spoon, take The Bronze Horseman as a single holder.

Holder and spoon: the rider in the medallion, a smooth head on the spoon

The spoon is crowned by a large, smooth oval, and only a small shell sits at the tip. At the base of the neck, two volutes show rows of dots, and the stem is slender. In the round medallion of the holder, framed by the laurel wreath, sits the light, flat relief with the rider.

The silver of holder and spoon is polished to a high shine by hand, and the wreath on the holder has a dark patina. A braided band, round-arched openings and a tendril band run around the basket, and the base is smooth.

The monument in two sentences

The relief shows the equestrian monument of Peter the Great, which Étienne Falconet created and which was unveiled in St Petersburg in 1782. The monument owes its name to the poem “The Bronze Horseman”, which Pushkin wrote in 1833; in Russian, the title literally says “Copper Horseman”.

Engraving on the Horseman set: base and spoon head

Up to 20 characters fit on the base, and a second engraving on the head of the spoon. The medallion stays free.

The set and the engraving flat fee go into the cart together, and your wording for both pieces goes into the “order note at checkout”. What is possible is decided after the order; we then agree the lettering and layout with you. If a wish does not fit, we refund the flat fee or look for another piece together.

For the birthday, we enclose a SilberVerse on request, at no extra charge. Occasion and name determine the verse, which we create individually; the photo card measures 15 × 10 cm.

For birthdays, at Christmas, for retirement: a set for history lovers

The first tea after the presents, the monument on the table, and soon someone is telling of the trip to Petersburg. The set suits people who love history, for a birthday just as much as for leaving work. For Christmas Eve, the guide Christmas gift for parents and grandparents collects more ideas.

Set or single holder: The Bronze Horseman with and without a spoon

The set comes with the spoon, the single holder does not. Otherwise, the two are the same.

If you would like a different motif with the same parts, take a look at the St George set. You will find more holders under more tea glass holders with tea glass.

Care: holder, spoon, glass

Dry holder and spoon with a soft cloth after use. Lukewarm water is enough for washing. Avoid the dishwasher. Store both dry. Silver tarnishes over time. A silver polishing cloth helps; on the wreath, go gently.

The dark on the wreath is not a layer of lacquer or paint, and it stands up to everyday use. You may carefully re-polish the relief and the spoon. For washing, lift the glass out of the holder.

The Bronze Horseman set: quick answers

How many engravings does the set need?
One flat fee applies per engraved piece, so two for holder and spoon.

Why is the patina on the holder dark, but the relief light?
The patina in the wreath and recesses is dark, and the relief is polished. This has nothing to do with lacquer, and it does not go away in everyday use.

Which tea glass belongs to the holder?
A tea glass of approx. 200 ml belongs to the set and lies in the gift box. The pattern on it may look different in the photo.

Who does the medallion show?
Peter the Great on his monument in St Petersburg. It is a secular motif and not a religious sign.
