Tea Glass Holder Spasskaya Tower in 925 Silver with Tea Glass and Spoon

The tower on Red Square, in flat relief on silver. The tea glass holder Spasskaya Tower in 925 silver shows the tower of the Moscow Kremlin in the medallion. A tea glass, a spoon with a smooth head and the gift box complete it. You can have the base and the spoon head engraved. A gift for travel lovers, for a birthday or for Christmas.

Tea glass holder Spasskaya Tower: the Kremlin motif at the tea table

The Spasskaya Tower is part of the wall of the Moscow Kremlin and looks onto Red Square. It was built in 1491. Here it appears as a relief on the holder, accompanied in the gift box by a tea glass and a spoon. ArgentA supplies the holder.

SilberKosmos thinks the gift through to the first sip: glass and spoon are already in the set. More holders are shown in the overview more tea glass holder sets.

Tower, clock and star: what the relief shows

Beneath its spire the tower bears a clock, and at the very top a five-pointed star. To the left of it stand lower towers and the crenellated wall, and to the right a dome is hinted at. The relief is flat and bright, with only a little patina in the recesses.

The picture is framed by the round medallion with a laurel wreath. A row of beads adorns the bow handle, and below, a smooth bell-shaped base carries the holder. The flat relief and the base are polished by hand.

The head of the spoon is oval, large and smooth. A shell crowns the tip, and at the neck two scrolls with rows of dots curve. The spoon is bright, without patina.

Engraving on the base and on the spoon head

The base takes up to 20 characters, such as your name or the date of the journey. The medallion with the tower stays untouched. The spoon head is smooth and can be engraved. The flat fee applies to every engraved piece.

When you buy the set, you take the engraving flat fee into the cart as well. What is to be engraved, you note under “order note at checkout”. Only once the order has arrived do we check the wish and agree lettering and layout with you. If the realisation does not work, we refund the flat fee or look for another piece for you.

For a birthday, a SilberVerse fits, free on request. It is created individually for the occasion and name, and it reaches you as a photo card in the format 15 × 10 cm.

For a birthday, for Christmas, for travel lovers: who to give the set to

After the journey the tower stands at the tea table: a souvenir that is also useful. Anyone who has been to Moscow recognises it at once, and anyone who has only dreamed of it receives a piece of a postcard in silver.

For a birthday the set suits people who love architecture and travel, and at Christmas it suits colleagues or the family just as well.

Medallion holders compared: tower, George or rider

The same body exists with a different motif. The St George set shows the dragon slayer, and the Bronze Horseman set the monument in St Petersburg.

Care: silver, relief and spoon

After tea, wipe the holder and the spoon dry with a soft cloth; lukewarm water is enough for washing. For both: keep them out of the dishwasher, and store them dry. Over the years silver tarnishes, and then a silver polishing cloth does no harm; you may polish the spoon as usual.

There is only a little patina in the relief; it is not a layer of colour and stays even with frequent use. It lets the lines of the tower stand out; where it shines brighter, there is no flaw. Before washing up, take the glass out of the holder.
