Sugar bowl 925 silver Niello

A sugar bowl made of 925 sterling silver that doesn't make a loud statement on the table but simply exists — with an encircling niello floral band, two curved handles, and a domed lid culminating in a small teardrop finial. Pure silver, no gold, no distraction. A piece for the set table that derives its presence from its form and ornamentation, not from its volume.

Material and Workmanship

The body rests on a profiled round base and features two curved handles that make it easy to grip and give the silhouette balance. It is topped with a domed lid with a small teardrop finial — a classic goblet shape immediately recognizable on any silverware arrangement. An encircling niello band with a floral rosette and delicate tendrils runs around the body: a dark metal inlay applied to engraved depressions that permanently bonds with the silver. No lacquer, no plating — the design is part of the material itself and does not change with polishing; in fact, it becomes clearer. The box is hallmarked with 925 fineness and a maker's mark.

Use and Occasions

With a capacity of 140 ml, the box is well-sized for sugar cubes, granulated sugar, or rock candy — sufficient for several cups of tea or coffee without appearing bulky on the table. As silverware, it accompanies daily coffee or tea breaks as well as festive occasions: for weddings, anniversaries, as a gift for those who appreciate silver and niello engraving art. The box also functions as an independent collector's item — compact enough for a display case, expressive enough to stand out there.

Engraving and SilberVerse Card

Individual engraving is possible upon request — initials, a date, or a short sentence transform the box into a personal gift. Upon request, we can include a personalized SilberVerse card in photo format (15 × 10 cm landscape) — individually designed, suitable for the occasion, and currently free of charge.

Care

Handwashing with lukewarm water and mild dish soap is sufficient for cleaning. To refresh the silver surface, a soft silver polishing cloth is all that's needed. The niello band is chemically stable and tolerates normal polishing without damage — the contrasts between the dark niello and the bright silver even deepen, making the piece more expressive over time.
