Cognac glass, 925 sterling silver, gold-plated with niello | Astra Classic | 150ml

Astra Classic cognac glass – Stylish swirling on an elegant base

The Astra Classic cognac glass, crafted from 925 sterling silver and resting on an elegant stem, is the perfect choice for stylish cognac enjoyment: a fully gold-plated interior, a matte exterior adorned with three hand-engraved niello flower clusters, a gold-plated rim, a niello band around the lower body, and a gold-plated base. Its 150 ml capacity makes it ideal for cognac, brandy, Armagnac, or fine whiskey. The bulbous shape allows for the classic swirling and warming motion in the hand – the aromas unfold, the cognac breathes, and every sip becomes a conscious moment of pleasure.

The Astra Classic cognac glass can be personalized – an engraving on the outside makes it a unique gift for cognac lovers or for special occasions.

Fully gilded interior and three niello flower groups

The Astra Classic cognac glass consists of a bulbous bowl on an elegant stem. The interior is entirely gilded with a high-gloss finish – a luxurious surface that presents the cognac with warmth and sophistication. The gilding is tasteless and protects the silver from tarnishing. The rim is also gilded, providing an elegant finish.

The exterior has a matte finish and features three symmetrically arranged niello flower clusters around the body: a central cluster at the front and two on either side. Each cluster displays a hand-engraved flower with tendrils and leaves in deep black niello, with one flower in each cluster being gilt – the signature accent of the Astra Classic collection. A niello band with floral patterns runs along the lower body, creating an elegant transition to the foot. The foot has a matte finish and features a gilt trim around the lower ring. This combination of a fully gilt interior, matte silver surfaces, black niello decorations, and gilt accents is typical of the Astra Classic line and harmonizes perfectly with the decanter, tumblers, and all other Astra pieces.

150 ml – Perfect for cognac and elegant swirling

With a 150 ml capacity, this cognac glass is perfectly sized for a generous serving of cognac, brandy, or Armagnac. The bulbous shape – wider at the base, narrower at the rim – is typical of cognac swirl glasses and serves several purposes: it allows for swirling without splashing, it provides space to warm the cognac in your hand (the warmth of the hand releases the aromas), and it concentrates the aromas at the narrow rim for an intense fragrance when drinking. The 925 sterling silver gently conducts the warmth of your hand to the cognac – a subtle yet noticeable difference compared to glass.

Frequently asked questions about the Astra Classic cognac glass

Why is the bulbous shape important for cognac?

The bulbous shape of the cognac glass serves several functions: it allows for the classic swirling without splashing – the cognac can spread along the sides and absorb oxygen. It provides space for warming in the hand – the warmth of the hand releases the cognac's aromas. And it concentrates the aromas at the narrow rim – when drinking, the fragrance molecules flow directly to the nose. The 925 sterling silver gently and evenly transfers the warmth of the hand to the cognac – a subtle but noticeable difference compared to glass. This shape has been tried and tested for centuries and demonstrates that cognac needs time, warmth, and the right glass.

How much cognac should I pour?

For a 150 ml cognac glass, we recommend pouring approximately 40-60 ml (4-6 cl) of cognac – about a third of the glass. This amount allows for swirling without overflowing, leaves room for the aromas to develop above the cognac, and is perfect for mindful enjoyment over 20-30 minutes. Cognac isn't drunk in one go – it's swirled, smelled, sipped, and savored. The fully gold-plated interior of the glass presents the cognac with particular elegance and makes every sip a visual experience.

Does the cognac glass match the Astra Classic decanter?

Yes, perfect! The Astra Classic cognac glass and decanter (300 ml) are from the same collection and harmonize in design, gilding, and niello decoration. Both feature the same three niello flower groups with gilded accent flowers, both have gilded rings, and both come from the SevChern manufactory. With one decanter and six cognac glasses, you have a seven-piece cognac set for stylish table service. The decanter holds 300 ml – perfect for five to six glasses of cognac (50 ml each) for a convivial evening.

Can the cognac glass be personalized?

Yes, the cognac glass can be personalized on the outside. Upon request, we will engrave a name, date, initials, or a personal message on the matte silver surface between the niello floral groups. The engraving is professional and permanent. This personalization makes the cognac glass a unique gift for cognac lovers, for birthdays, or other special occasions. A set of six engraved cognac glasses, along with the engraved decanter, makes an unforgettable gift for those who appreciate fine spirits. Simply contact us with your engraving request!

Can I put the cognac glass in the dishwasher?

We strongly recommend hand washing to protect the gilding and niello inlays. After use, rinse the glass with warm water (plain water is often sufficient for cognac), then dry it with a soft cloth. The high-gloss gilding (inside, rim, and foot ring) and the hand-engraved niello decorations are sensitive to harsh detergents and the mechanical stress of dishwashers. With careful hand washing, the cognac glass will remain pristine for decades.

A cognac glass for conscious moments of enjoyment.

The Astra Classic cognac glass is no ordinary glass. It's the elegant choice for those who understand that cognac needs time – time to swirl, time to warm, time to savor. Crafted from solid 925 sterling silver, fully gold-plated inside, and adorned with hand-engraved niello flowers, every time you pour, swirl, or sip cognac, you demonstrate that true moments of enjoyment are not rushed, but celebrated. 150 ml, three niello flower clusters, and a fully gold-plated interior – for those who know that the right glass makes all the difference.
