Sugar Bowl in 925 Silver, Gold-Plated with Niello and Two Handles — Hop

Two handles, a lid, and the table looks festive. This sugar bowl in 925 silver, gold-plated, holds approx. 250 ml and bears hop leaves on niello. It is based on a design by Yelizaveta Tropina, created in 1969. It comes in a gift box. It suits Christmas, a silver wedding anniversary or a housewarming.

Sugar bowl in 925 silver, gold-plated: a lidded vessel with two golden handles

The body is rounded and ends in a gold-plated foot ring. The silver lid has a golden rim and a golden knob. On the right and left sits a gold-plated handle.

The manufactory’s 2008 company book shows a lidded vessel with two handles next to the pot, after Tropina’s design of 1969. You will find more bowls among the sugar bowls in 925 silver.

Leaves and cones on niello: the pattern on the body

The engraver drew every leaf on the body individually. The lid, handles and knob remain smooth and golden.

The black between the leaves is niello. It sits beneath the surface like a tattoo: the colour lies in the silver, not on it.

As a climbing plant, hop needs something to climb up. On the body this recalls two people who hold each other as they grow, just as the two handles hold the vessel.

Christmas at the coffee table: where the sugar bowl belongs

On Christmas morning it stands between the cups and brings gold to the table. It also does well for a silver wedding anniversary or as the first piece for a new kitchen.

The lid closes the vessel, and the handles make it easy to carry, even when the table is full.

Extending the line: add the pot, milk jug and place settings

Next to the sugar bowl, the line includes the coffee pot with golden cones and the milk jug with a gold-plated interior. You can add both later, one at a time, as well as place settings of cup, saucer and spoon.

Engraving: what the sugar bowl shows and the manufacturer checks

The hop leaves run around the body; there is no free surface. Whether and where a request can be placed is decided by the manufacturer’s check.

If you would like something added to the piece, tell us your request in advance by email or WhatsApp, or in the “order note at checkout”. We ask SevChern whether and how it can be done. Afterwards we decide on lettering and layout with you. If it is not possible, we refund the purchase price, or you choose another piece together with us.

The SilberVerse is a photo card measuring 15 × 10 cm and is free on request. Its verse is tailored individually to the occasion and name.

Caring for the gold plating

For the sugar bowl, washing by hand, a soft cloth and doing without polishing paste or a polishing cloth are enough: the gold plating is thin. The dishwasher is not a good idea.
