Tea Glass Holder Set with Antique Patina: Saint George in 925 Silver with Tea Glass and Teaspoon

Nothing is missing for the name day: holder, glass, spoon, George. The tea glass holder set with antique patina in 925 silver combines a holder with the relief of Saint George and the “Imperator” spoon. A tea glass and the gift box are included. You can have the base and the head of the spoon engraved. A gift for a name day, a birthday or Christmas.

Tea glass holder set with antique patina: what is in the set

“Antique patina” describes the surface: the recesses of the holder have a dark patina, and the set itself is new. The set has four parts: silver holder (925), tea glass, silver spoon “Imperator” (925) and gift box. ArgentA makes the holder.

At SilberKosmos, what counts is a gift that reaches the recipient complete, without you having to add anything. If you only want to give the holder and the glass, the single holder Saint George is the right choice.

Holder and spoon: George in the medallion, wavy band on the spoon

The round medallion in the laurel wreath carries the relief of Saint George on horseback. A braided band, round-arched openings and a tendril band run around the wall, and the bow handle with a row of beads rises above the rim. At the bottom, the holder stands on a smooth, flared base.

The Imperator has a flat oval head with a smooth centre. A wavy band runs along the edge, a shell sits at the tip, and two volutes with rows of dots sit at the neck. The spoon is polished to a high shine by hand; on the holder, polished surfaces alternate with patinated recesses.

Engraving on the set: name on the base, date on the spoon

The base of the holder (up to 20 characters) and the head of the spoon can be engraved. The medallion with the relief stays as it is.

This is how it works: the engraving flat fee and the set go into the cart together, and the wording you want for the base and the spoon head belongs in the “order note at checkout”. We look at whether everything can be done after the order, then we talk with you about lettering and layout. If a wish cannot be fulfilled, we refund the flat fee or suggest another piece.

For the name day, a SilberVerse is available free of charge on request: the verse is tailored individually to the occasion and name, and it is delivered as a photo card, 15 × 10 cm.

For the name day: George and everyone who carries the name in another form

St George’s Day on 23 April is the name day for everyone called George. The name stands on the base, the spoon lies beside it, perhaps with the date on its head.

For a birthday and at Christmas too, the set remains a fitting gift. It carries the name and the occasion along with it.

Set or single holder: George with and without a spoon

The single holder brings the holder and the glass, the set adds the spoon. If you are giving to two people, take two single holders; if you are giving one person the complete gift, take the set. The overview Tea glass holder sets at a glance shows all the sets.

If you like gold in the medallion, there is St George with a gilded relief as a single holder and the St George set with a gilded relief with a spoon. There, only the relief is gilded.

Care: holder, spoon and glass after tea

After tea, take a soft cloth and wipe both silver pieces. If you need more, wash them in lukewarm water. They do not belong in the dishwasher. Store them dry, preferably in the box. Over time, silver turns darker. A silver polishing cloth is welcome; in the recesses of the holder, work gently.

The patina has nothing to do with lacquer or paint, and it stays even with frequent use. On the raised areas, you may gently re-polish. Before rinsing, the glass comes out of the holder.
