Silver tea cup with dragonfly: the bowl in its case
A single cup lies in the case, without saucer and without spoon. The porcelain is a wide, gently waved bowl with a fluted rim. The handle is part of the silver setting.
The bowl is made of bone china from the Imperial Porcelain Manufactory in St. Petersburg; the setting is made by ArgentA. Libellula is Latin for dragonfly; at the manufacturer, the line is simply called Dragonfly.
Dragonfly, scrollwork and three small feet
A sculpted dragonfly sits at the front in the scrollwork that encloses the bowl. The setting is openwork, and the white porcelain shimmers through between the tendrils. Three small feet carry the cup.
The setting is made by art casting and polished by hand, including the three small feet. The silver looks bright; only the depths of the scrollwork are set off slightly darker, without lacquer.
For a birthday, for people who drink their tea in peace
In the afternoon, the bowl stands on the tea table, and the tea shimmers brightly in the white porcelain. It suits someone who takes time for their cup.
You can give it at Christmas just as well. You will find more ideas among the 925 silver birthday gifts.
Libellula on its own, with a spoon or as a Turkish coffee set
The cup is also available with a gift spoon as the silver tea cup with spoon. If you serve Turkish coffee, you will also find the dragonfly on the coffee set with Turkish coffee pot and dragonflies.
Personalised lettering on the silver: engraving and SilberVerse
If you would like something recorded on the silver, tell us your wish by email or in the order note at checkout. We first ask the manufacturer, and only then is the engraving made. We design the lettering and placement with you. If it is not possible, we refund the amount.
Would you like to add a card? With the SilberVerse, an individual verse is created for the occasion and name, free on request. It comes on a photo card measuring 15 × 10 cm.
