Dessert bowl on foot, 925 sterling silver, gold-plated with niello | Astra Classic

Astra Classic dessert bowl – Stylish presentation on an elegant base

The Astra Classic dessert bowl, crafted from 925 sterling silver and resting on an elegant foot, is the perfect choice for stylish dessert presentations: a fully gold-plated interior, a matte exterior adorned with three hand-engraved niello flower clusters, a gold-plated rim, and a sophisticated base with a gold-plated ring. Its 150 ml capacity makes it ideal for ice cream, chocolate mousse, panna cotta, tiramisu, fruit salad, or other desserts. Weighing just 146 grams, it is pleasantly lightweight, and its elevated presentation on the foot transforms any dessert into a work of art – for those who understand that true moments of indulgence are also a feast for the eyes.

The Astra Classic dessert bowl can be personalized – an engraving on the outside or on the base makes it a unique gift for weddings, anniversaries or special occasions.

Fully gilded interior and three niello flower groups

The Astra Classic dessert bowl consists of a bowl on an elegant base. The interior is entirely gilded with a high-gloss finish – a luxurious presentation surface that makes every dessert a highlight. The gilding is tasteless and protects the silver from discoloration caused by acidic foods such as fruits or lemon desserts.

The exterior has a matte finish and features three symmetrically arranged niello flower clusters: 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 gilded – the signature accent of the Astra Classic collection. The upper rim is gilded, creating an elegant transition between the interior and exterior. The base has a matte finish and features a subtle yet sophisticated gilded trim around the lower ring.

150 ml – Perfect for ice cream, mousse and stylish desserts

With a 150 ml capacity, the dessert bowl is perfectly sized for a generous portion of ice cream (2-3 scoops), a chocolate mousse, a panna cotta, a tiramisu, a fruit salad, or other desserts. The elevated presentation on the base visually highlights the dessert – it appears to float above the table, becoming a true eye-catcher. This elegant presentation is typical of Russian table culture and demonstrates that desserts are not served on flat plates, but rather on raised bowls – like miniature works of art on a pedestal.

Frequently asked questions about the Astra Classic dessert bowl

For which desserts is the dessert bowl suitable?

The Astra Classic dessert bowl is versatile: perfect for ice cream (2-3 scoops), chocolate mousse, panna cotta, tiramisu, fruit salad, crème brûlée, pudding, sorbet, or other hot and cold desserts. With a 150 ml capacity, it's generously sized for a single serving of dessert – not too small, not too large. The fully gold-plated interior is flavor-neutral and can even withstand acidic foods like fruit or lemon desserts. Its elevated base makes every dessert a visual highlight.

Why does the bowl have a foot?

The stand offers several advantages: it visually elevates the dessert, making it a focal point on the table. This elevated presentation is typical of Russian table culture and emphasizes that the dessert is something special – not simply placed on a flat plate, but on a pedestal. The stand also creates an elegant distance between the dessert and the table surface, preventing condensing ice cream or cold food from touching the table. Furthermore, a bowl on a stand is easier to handle and serve than a flat bowl.

Does the dessert bowl match the Astra Classic tea set?

Yes, perfect! The dessert bowl and the Astra Classic tea set 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 fully gilded interiors (gilded teacups inside, gilded dessert bowl inside), and both come from the SevChern manufactory. You can use the dessert bowl to complement the tea set – for desserts after afternoon tea or after dinner.

Can the dessert bowl be personalized?

Yes, the dessert bowl can be personalized on the outside or the base. Upon request, we engrave names, dates, initials, or a personal message. The engraving is professional and permanent. This personalization makes the dessert bowl a unique gift for weddings, anniversaries, or special occasions. A set of six engraved dessert bowls is an unforgettable gift for young couples or for a silver or golden wedding anniversary. Simply contact us with your engraving request!

Can I put the dessert bowl in the dishwasher?

We strongly recommend hand washing to protect the gilding and niello inlays. After use, rinse the bowl with warm water and mild dish soap, then dry with a soft cloth. The high-gloss gilding (interior, rim, and base ring) and the hand-engraved niello floral groups are sensitive to harsh detergents and the mechanical stress of dishwashers. With careful hand washing, the dessert bowl will remain pristine for decades.

A dessert bowl that turns every treat into a work of art.

The Astra Classic dessert bowl is no ordinary dessert bowl. It's the elegant choice for stylish presentations – crafted from solid 925 sterling silver, fully gilded inside, and adorned with hand-engraved niello flowers. Every time you serve dessert, you demonstrate that true moments of indulgence are not only tasted but also seen. With a 150 ml capacity, an elegant base, and a fully gilded interior, it's for those who understand that presentation is key.
