Carafe 925 silver gold plated niello | Astra Classic | 300ml

Astra Classic Decanter – Stylish presentation for fine spirits

The Astra Classic decanter, crafted from 925 sterling silver, is the elegant choice for stylishly presenting spirits: a fully gold-plated lid, a matte exterior adorned with three hand-engraved niello flower clusters, and gold-plated rings at the neck and base. Its 300 ml capacity makes it perfect for whiskey, cognac, vodka, fine schnapps, or other spirits. Weighing 322 grams, it sits comfortably in the hand and, with every pour, demonstrates that true moments of enjoyment are also a visual delight – a decanter that transforms every fine drink into a visual experience.

The Astra Classic decanter can be personalized – an engraving on the outside makes it a unique gift for whiskey lovers, for weddings or special occasions.

Fully gilded lid and three niello flower groups

The Astra Classic decanter features a bulbous body with a narrow neck and a fully gold-plated lid. The lid is highly polished and adorned with a narrow niello floral band along its lower edge – a subtle embellishment that marks the transition to the neck. The lid creates an airtight seal, protecting the spirits from evaporation and oxidation.

The exterior of the carafe has a matte finish and features three symmetrically arranged niello flower clusters around its body: 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. Gilded rings adorn the neck and lower body – elegant accents that emphasize the carafe's proportions. This combination of matte silver, gilded rings, and black niello flowers is typical of the Astra Classic line and harmonizes perfectly with the butter dishes, teacups, and all other Astra pieces.

300 ml – Perfect for whiskey, cognac and fine spirits

With a 300 ml capacity, this decanter is perfectly sized for fine spirits: enough for several glasses of whiskey or cognac, but not too large for everyday use. The bulbous shape allows for elegant, drip-free pouring, the narrow neck concentrates the aroma, and the airtight lid protects the spirits from evaporation. The decanter is versatile and can be used for single malt whiskey, bourbon, cognac, brandy, vodka, fruit brandies, or other fine spirits.

Frequently asked questions about the Astra Classic carafe

For which spirits is the carafe suitable?

The Astra Classic decanter is versatile: ideal for whiskey (single malt, bourbon, blended), cognac, brandy, vodka, fruit brandies (Williams, cherry, plum), grappa, rum, or other fine spirits. With a 300 ml capacity, it's perfect for several glasses – not too large for everyday use, not too small for social gatherings. The airtight lid protects the spirits from evaporation and oxidation. The bulbous shape allows for elegant, drip-free pouring.

Why 300 ml and not 700 ml like a standard bottle?

The 300 ml size offers several advantages: the decanter is handy and fits on any table or in any bar; it's perfect for everyday use (2-4 glasses of whiskey or cognac); and it reflects mindful enjoyment – ​​not the whole bottle, but a select amount for special moments. Many connoisseurs decant their finest spirits into smaller decanters for stylish presentation and to minimize oxidation of the remaining bottle. The 300 ml size is also typical for Russian decanters and reflects the tradition of the SevChern manufactory.

Does the carafe fit the Astra Classic drinking cups?

Yes, perfect! The Astra Classic decanter and drinking glasses (110 ml and 225 ml) 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 gilded rings, and both come from the SevChern manufactory. With one decanter and six drinking glasses, you have a seven-piece spirits set for stylish table settings – perfect for whiskey evenings, cognac after dinner, or Russian vodka rituals.

Can the carafe be personalized?

Yes, the decanter can be personalized on the outside. Upon request, we can engrave names, dates, initials, or a personal dedication (e.g., "For your wedding in 2025" or "For Dad's 60th birthday"). The engraving is professionally and permanently applied to the matte silver surface between the niello flower clusters. This personalization makes the decanter a unique gift for whiskey lovers, for weddings, or for special occasions. Simply contact us with your engraving request!

How do I clean the carafe?

We recommend handwashing with warm water and mild dish soap to protect the gold plating and niello inlays. After use, rinse the decanter with warm water (for spirits, plain water is often sufficient), then dry it with a soft cloth. The lid should be cleaned separately. The high-gloss gold plating (lid and rings) and the hand-engraved niello floral groups are sensitive to harsh detergents. The matte exterior can be polished with a silver polishing cloth if necessary. With careful handwashing, the decanter will remain pristine for decades.

A carafe for stylish moments of enjoyment.

The Astra Classic decanter is no ordinary decanter. It's the elegant choice for discerning spirits connoisseurs – crafted from solid 925 sterling silver, fully gilded on the lid, and adorned with hand-engraved niello flowers. Every time you pour whiskey, present cognac, or serve vodka, you demonstrate that true moments of enjoyment don't come from the bottle, but from a decanter that is itself a work of art. 300 ml, three niello flower clusters, and a fully gilded lid – for those who understand that presentation is key.
