Silver Mocha Cup 925 Niello 60 ml — Peonia

Silver Mocha Cup Peonia — 60 ml for the grand moment

Sometimes the entire weight of a moment lies in a small cup. The Peonia mocha cup made of 925 Sterling silver holds exactly 60 ml — yet it contains much more: a baroque peony motif in Niello inlay, an elegant goblet on a trumpet base, a curved S-handle. This is no ordinary espresso cup. This is an object one picks up, observes, and then takes into hand with pleasure.

The Peonia line from SevChern in Veliky Ustyug combines two pieces with identical design language and motif — this mocha cup and the matching Sugar Bowl Peonia 160 ml (SW10194). Both with the same floral baroque Niello, both on the characteristic trumpet-footed goblet, pure silver without gold. Together, they form a complete mocha set for two.

Peonies in Niello — the Baroque Motif

On the bowl of the cup, large stylized peonies with fan-shaped leaves unfold — densely composed, symmetrical, with a precision only achieved by fusing silver and black alloy. This is Niello: no paint, no lacquer, no coating. The black-lustrous inlay is chemically and physically bonded to the silver — 15 working steps, over 340 years of tradition in Veliky Ustyug.

In Russia, the peony has been a symbol of prosperity, happiness, and marriage for centuries. A Niello mocha cup with this motif is therefore not a random gift — it carries a meaning that goes far beyond coffee. The polished mirror inside the cup creates a deliberate contrast: ornament on the outside, pure silver on the inside. The more often you polish, the deeper the contrasts of the Niello become — the piece gets more beautiful with time.

A narrow geometric double line runs along the upper rim of the cup — subtle, yet precise. A detail that completes the composition without overloading it.

The Espresso Ritual in 925 Silver

Why mocha in silver? Because silver retains temperature — and because a ritual deserves an object that lives up to its significance. The Peonia cup is suitable for personal use as well as an exceptional gift: for a wedding, a milestone birthday, a company anniversary, as a thank-you for someone you don't give just anything to.

It comes in a gift box and bears a hallmark confirming the 925 fineness and the manufacturer. No decor, no promise — just silver and the signature of one of Russia's most important jewelry centers.

If desired, we can include a personal SilverVerse card in photo format (10×15 cm) — individually designed, suitable for the occasion, and currently free of charge. Simply state your wish when ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Peonia Mocha Cup

What is the difference between Niello and normal silver decor?
Niello is not a painting or print — the black alloy is melted directly into the silver and forms a chemical-physical bond. This means: the motif cannot be scraped off, does not fade, and even becomes more contrasting with years of polishing. In our Niello collection, you will find more pieces using this technique.

Can I order the mocha cup with the Peonia sugar bowl as a set?
Yes — the Peonia line includes the matching sugar bowl 160 ml (SW10194) with an identical peony Niello and the same trumpet-footed goblet. Both pieces are perfectly combinable as a mocha set for two. Just write to us if you would like both together — we will place them together in one gift box. All tableware ensembles can be found in our Table Silverware Collection.

Is the cup suitable for daily use?
925 Sterling silver is robust and made for regular use. The polished inner mirror is food-safe — this applies to all our Niello pieces. We recommend hand washing and occasional polishing with a soft cloth to maintain its luster and allow the Niello contrasts to develop further.

As a wedding gift — is it really suitable?
In Russian symbolism, peonies are a sign of prosperity, happiness, and marriage — a wedding gift in silver could hardly be more thoughtful. With individual engraving and the SilverVerse card, it becomes a gift that won't be forgotten. You can find more wedding ideas in our Wedding Gifts Collection.
