Coffee Saucer in 925 Silver, Gold-Plated, 100 mm, with Niello — Hop

A rim of gold, a band of leaves: the saucer carries its own pattern. This silver coffee saucer, gold-plated, has a niello band with leaves and cones and a smooth centre of polished silver. Yelizaveta Tropina designed the pattern in 1969. The saucer comes in a gift box. It completes a cup from the line and suits a wedding anniversary or a birthday.

Silver coffee saucer, gold-plated: niello band, gold rim, calm centre

A wide gold-plated rim frames the saucer. Within it runs a band of leaves and cones on a dark ground, bordered by fine lines. The centre is smooth and polished and takes up a good half of the diameter.

The manufactory’s 2008 company book shows a cup with saucer whose form and pattern recur here, designed by Tropina, 1969. You will find more saucers among the silver coffee and tea saucers.

Leaves and cones in the band: the saucer’s pattern

In the band, leaves and cones run as lines drawn by hand around the polished centre.

Behind them lies niello. As with a tattoo, the colour sits beneath the surface; nothing is painted on.

As it grows, hop looks for support. On a saucer that carries a cup, this reads as an image of the support one place setting gives the other.

For a wedding anniversary: a place setting that grows

For a wedding anniversary it does not have to be the whole service right away. A saucer is a keepsake that grows: next year the cup is added, then the spoon.

For a birthday it suits people who put together their place setting bit by bit.

Which cup goes with it? Extending the line

This saucer goes with the flat cup in solid silver. With a spoon this makes the place setting with solid cup. Six such place settings stand with the vessels in the service for six people.

The second saucer in the line is larger and heavier and belongs to the cup with porcelain insert.

Engraving after checking: the smooth centre

The smooth centre is the calmest surface of the saucer. A request in this spot goes to the manufacturer for checking. When in use, the cup placed on top covers part of the centre.

If you would like something added to the centre, get in touch by WhatsApp or email, or enter it in the “order note at checkout”. SevChern checks whether it can be done. We then discuss lettering and layout with you. If not, we pay back the amount or show you other saucers.

A verse for the occasion? The SilberVerse is available free on request and comes as a photo card in landscape format, 15 × 10 cm. The occasion and name flow individually into the verse.

Care: protect the golden rim

The piece needs hardly any care: water, a soft cloth, done. The golden rim is not polished; the gold plating is thin. Please avoid the dishwasher; washing by hand is better.

Coffee Saucer Hop: briefly answered

Which cup goes with this saucer?
The flat cup in solid silver. The place setting with spoon contains both together.

How does the D100 differ from the D110?
The saucer D110 is larger and heavier and belongs to the cup with porcelain insert. The pattern is the same.

Can the saucer be engraved?
The smooth centre can be considered for this. Whether and how, we check with the manufacturer in advance.

Can I buy a saucer separately later?
Yes. Saucers are pieces of the line in their own right and can be added to a cup individually.
