Tea Glass Holder Troika in 925 Silver with Three-Horse Relief, Tea Glass and Spoon

Three horses, a sleigh, a fir forest in the snow. The tea glass holder Troika in 925 silver carries the three-horse team as a relief band. A tea glass, a spoon and the gift box belong to the set; the base and the spoon head can be engraved. Fitting for a wedding anniversary, for Christmas and for a milestone anniversary.

Tea glass holder Troika: the three-horse team in winter

Troika means a team of three: three horses side by side, here in front of a sleigh. The set includes a holder and a spoon in 925 silver, a tea glass and the gift box. ArgentA supplies the holder.

SilberKosmos makes sure that a set becomes a gift without anything extra to buy. More models are shown in the overview Tea glass holder sets with relief.

Horses, sleigh, firs: how the relief is built

Beneath the arched yoke, the duga, three horses gallop in harness. Behind them travellers sit in the sleigh, firs stand on the left, and on the right edge houses with a pointed tower take shape. A shell arch closes the scene at the top.

The relief lies at the front, while the back is openwork and carries arcades and tendrils. The handle swings in a hook shape and carries a row of beads, and the foot below is a smooth, bell-shaped base. The high relief of the troika is polished by hand, and the winter landscape behind it stays patinated dark.

The spoon takes up the ornamental forms: on the head sits a cartouche with a smooth centre, a shell crowns it, and a flower garland hangs below.

As a picture the troika is known from Gogol's “Dead Souls” and from Tchaikovsky's “The Seasons”, there in the piece for November.

Engraving on the base and in the spoon head

On the base there are up to 20 characters, for example names or the date of the wedding. The relief stays untouched. The spoon head has a smooth centre in the cartouche that can be engraved. A flat fee is added for every engraved piece.

In the cart then lie the set and the engraving flat fee. Your text for the base and the spoon head goes under “order note at checkout”. Once the order is through, we check whether the wish can be realised and agree lettering and layout with you. Otherwise we refund the flat fee or decide with you on another piece.

For words on a wedding anniversary there is a SilberVerse: created individually for the occasion and name, delivered as a photo card (15 × 10 cm), free on request.

Wedding anniversary, Christmas, milestone anniversary: a winter picture to give

The journey through winter can be read as a picture of the path taken together. For a wedding anniversary the set therefore stands for two who have shared it for a long time. The date can stand on the base.

On a winter evening, with the first tea after the snow, the relief is especially effective. At Christmas and for a milestone anniversary the set brings a story to the table.

Relief band on Troika and Hunters: the same construction

As with the Hunters at Rest set, the picture sits as a relief band at the front, beneath a shell arch. Both have the same construction. The handle differs; here it has the hook shape.

Care: silver, relief and glass

Lukewarm water and a soft cloth are enough for care, and silver does not belong in the dishwasher. You store it dry. If it tarnishes over time, you use a silver polishing cloth and go gently in the recesses.

Neither lacquer nor paint: the dark patina remains in daily use. It lets horses and firs stand out; there is not a high shine everywhere, and that does not mean a flaw. On raised areas you may polish gently; the glass you pull out for washing.
