Hip Flask 925 Sterling Silver Niello with Spaniel Motif — 260 ml, engravable

For the hunter turning 50 or 60, for the best man from the hunting party, for the man who has been stalking with his dog for years: a 925 sterling silver hip flask, 260 ml, with a Spaniel motif in niello hand engraving on the front. Solid silver, polished back for your personal engraving, classic rectangular shape with rounded corners — exactly how a high-quality silver hip flask should look. The hunting dog motif is crafted using niello ink: a centuries-old technique where molten black metal is inlaid into the engraved silver — the black remains abrasion-resistant, the bright is the polished silver. Made in the SevChern manufactory in Veliky Ustyug. This silver hip flask is not a mass-produced item — it is a luxury gift that lasts.

925 Silver Hip Flask with Spaniel Motif — Handmade Niello Engraving

The motif on this silver hip flask shows a Spaniel in full attention — head slightly raised, ears alert, body tense but controlled. The typical moment of a hunting dog before it sets off. The medallion is framed by a niello band with floral tendrils, embedded in polished 925 sterling silver. The black in the motif is niello enamel — a centuries-old tradition from Veliky Ustyug, where molten black metal is inlaid into the engraved silver. The bright is the polished silver. This contrast makes the silver hip flask a distinctive luxury gift for hunters and dog lovers — the motif is ornamentation, the product is solid 925 silver from the SevChern manufactory.

260 ml Silver Hip Flask — the Medium Size for a Long Day

Not the Mini Hip Flask Weasel (90 ml) for a discreet sip in a jacket pocket. Not the large round Bear Fight (500 ml) for the whole group. This Spaniel with 260 ml is in between: enough for an entire afternoon in the high seat, for a break by the roadside, for a toast to a good shot. The volume fits into the inner pocket of a hunting jacket, into the outer pocket of a backpack, into the glove compartment. Classic rectangular shape with softly rounded corners — exactly how a silver hip flask should look.

Engravable 925 Silver Hip Flask — the Back is Waiting for its Name

The polished back is intentionally blank — it's waiting for your engraving. A name, a date, a short dedication. A saying that holds meaning between you. A ritual: every time he pulls out the hip flask, he sees your writing. A personalized 925 silver hip flask is not a gift that is passed on — it is a gift that lasts. With an engraving order, we include a complimentary SilberVerse card — a personal message that frames the silver piece before it arrives in the gift box. Engraving upon request, individually hand-executed.

Frequent Questions about the Silver Hip Flask with Spaniel Motif

Why does a 925 silver hip flask cost so much more than stainless steel?
Because they are two different worlds. A stainless steel hip flask is a mass-produced item without a history of craftsmanship. This one is solid sterling silver, handcrafted in the SevChern manufactory in Veliky Ustyug, with a niello motif that is meticulously inlaid by hand. The silver retains its value, the handcraft makes each piece unique, and the niello tradition is over 200 years old.

Which hip flask motif is better as a gift for a hunter — Spaniel or Capercaillie?
The Spaniel motif is for the dog handler — if he has been hunting with the same hunting dog for years. The Hip Flask with Capercaillie Motif 90 ml and the Hip Flask with Capercaillie Motif 150 ml are for the gamekeeper who loves bird hunting. For the bear hunter or friends of dramatic scenes: Hip Flask with Bear Fight Motif 500 ml.

How big is the hip flask really — does it fit into a hunting jacket pocket?
Dimensions: approx. 100 × 131 × 34.5 mm. That's more compact than a smartphone in height, slightly thicker due to the volume. It fits easily into the inner pocket of a hunting jacket. It feels comfortable in the hand, not too small like a mini hip flask, not too bulky like a 500 ml piece.

Can I order an engraving with a family crest or hunting emblem?
Yes, upon request. In addition to names, dates, and dedications, small motifs are also possible — family crests, hunting emblems, initials in a classic style. Write to us via the contact form, tell us what motif you envision, we will check feasibility and get back to you with an offer.

How do I properly care for the niello hip flask?
Rinse the inside with warm water after each use. Polish the exterior with a soft silver polishing cloth if necessary — silver develops a natural patina that many find particularly beautiful. The niello motif itself is abrasion-resistant and requires no maintenance. NOT dishwasher safe. NOT with harsh cleaners.
