Material and craftsmanship
The spoon is made of 925 sterling silver, and the bowl is gold-plated. The hop motif on the handle is featured as a niello inlay—a technique in which a dark alloy is melted by hand into engraved lines. The result is a deep black design that is permanently bonded to the silver; it does not sit on the surface like a coating but becomes part of the metal itself. The cones, vines, and leaves of the hop plant form a motif that is rarely found in silver cutlery and gives the piece a unique character.
Usage and occasions
A coffee spoon with hop niello is suitable for any occasion where real silver is used—from your daily espresso to a festive coffee table. It is perfect as a birthday or anniversary gift for coffee lovers, as a personalized present with an engraving, or as an addition to an existing silver service. The spoon is delivered in a gift box, ready for presentation.
Engraving and SilberVerse card
The back of the handle offers space for a personal engraving—initials, a date, or a short sentence. Please provide your engraving request when placing your order. Upon request, we can also include a personal SilberVerse card in photo format (15 × 10 cm landscape)—individually designed, matching the occasion, and free of charge.
Care
Hand wash with lukewarm water and mild dish soap, then dry with a soft cloth. Please avoid dishwashers and silver immersion baths. The niello ornament is permanently fused and will not be damaged by normal cleaning; it is best to polish the gold-plated bowl only with a soft cloth.
Frequently asked questions
What is the significance of the hop motif on the spoon?
The hop collection features a botanical motif rarely chosen for silver cutlery—cones, vines, and leaves, hand-engraved and fused with niello. It is particularly well-suited to coffee culture and dining enjoyment.
Is the spoon completely gold-plated?
No—only the bowl is gold-plated; the handle shows silver with the niello inlay of the hop motif. This contrast between gold and niello black is typical of this collection.
How long does production take?
The spoon is made-to-order. Contact us before ordering if you need current information regarding delivery times.
