Tea Glass Holder Hunters at Rest in 925 Silver with Tea Glass and Spoon

Three hunters rest, and so do you: a glass of tea after Perov's painting. The tea glass holder Hunters at Rest in 925 silver shows the scene as a relief band. A tea glass, a spoon and the gift box are included; the base and the spoon head can be engraved. A gift for retirement, for a birthday or for Christmas.

Tea glass holder Hunters at Rest: a painting in silver

The model is the painting “Hunters at Rest”, which Vasily Perov painted in 1871. The holder and the spoon are made of 925 silver, and a tea glass and the gift box complete the set. ArgentA supplies the holder.

SilberKosmos chooses sets in which nothing is missing. You will find more models under all tea glass holder sets.

Three hunters, bushes, rifles: what the relief shows

Three hunters rest in the countryside, with bushes between them and rifles lying on the ground. The relief sits at the front of the holder; a shell arch closes it at the top, and an ornamental band with a lozenge at the bottom. The bow handle bends in an angular arc and also carries a row of beads.

The figures at rest are polished to a high shine by hand, while the surface behind them and the recesses stay dark. This makes the faces and boots stand out. The base is smooth.

The spoon matches the scene: in a rocaille cartouche lies a smooth centre, a shell sits at the top, and a flower garland at the neck. The ornamental forms are patinated dark.

Engraving on the base and in the spoon head

Up to 20 characters fit on the base, a name or a date. The spoon head has a smooth centre in the cartouche, which is where an engraving fits. The relief stays untouched. Count on one flat fee for every engraved piece.

The engraving flat fee then belongs with the set; you put both into the cart. You type the wished-for text for the base and the spoon head into “order note at checkout”. Once the order has reached us, we check the wish and agree lettering and layout. Where something cannot be realised, we refund the flat fee, or we suggest another piece to you.

The SilberVerse for this occasion is created on request and free of charge, individually for the occasion and name. As a photo card it measures 15 × 10 cm.

For retirement, for a birthday, for hunting enthusiasts and art lovers

The rest as a picture of free time: whoever leaves their job finally has time for a glass of tea without watching the clock. The set tells of this without saying a word.

For a birthday it suits people who like painting, and at Christmas anyone with a sense for stories. Whoever loves the hunt will find more in the hunting gifts in 925 silver.

Hunters or capercaillie: two hunting motifs compared

The relief band shows people in a scene, while the Capercaillie with a hunting motif shows an animal in the forest. There the forest and lattice are shaped in relief, whereas here the picture sits as a band at the front of the holder.

Care: silver and patina

The silver does not belong in the dishwasher; with lukewarm water and a soft cloth it is well looked after. Kept dry, it stays beautiful for a long time. If it darkens over time, a silver polishing cloth helps, carefully on the patinated areas.

The patina on the relief is not a colour made of lacquer and does not disappear in everyday use. It brings out the figures, which is why there is not a high shine everywhere, and that is no flaw. You may polish the raised areas gently; lift the glass out for cleaning.
