The vessel that held it told more than its contents. This two-piece caviar set made of solid 925 sterling silver continues this tradition: The inner caviar bowl sits in an outer ice bowl, the imperial coat of arms of the Russian double-headed eagle is set in deep niello on the silver body, and fully gilded surfaces shine where once only kings had something to say.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe caviar vessel comes from the SevChern manufactory in Veliky Ustyug — a small town in northern Russia, whose goldsmiths have been producing niello silver since 1683. At the 1937 World's Fair in Paris, SevChern received the gold medal. UNESCO has recognized the niello technique from Veliky Ustyug as an intangible cultural heritage. What you see here is not a mass-produced item — it is a piece of this long lineage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-left: 4px solid #967031; background: #f2f2f2; padding: 16px 20px; margin: 24px 0;\"\u003e\n  ✦ Material: 925 sterling silver, solid\u003cbr\u003e\n  ✦ Construction: 2-piece — inner caviar bowl (150 ml) in outer ice bowl (400 ml)\u003cbr\u003e\n  ✦ Dimensions: Ø 88 mm, H 110 mm\u003cbr\u003e\n  ✦ Weight: approx. 361 g\u003cbr\u003e\n  ✦ Gilding: Interior of both bowls fully gilded, gilded rim strip, gilded base ring\u003cbr\u003e\n  ✦ Decor: Niello band with Russian double-headed eagle (imperial coat of arms) and acanthus tendrils, partially gilded\u003cbr\u003e\n  ✦ Two gilded braided bands frame the niello band\u003cbr\u003e\n  ✦ Base: round, silver with gilded decorative ring\u003cbr\u003e\n  ✦ Hallmarks: 925 mark + manufacturer's mark + Russian state hallmark\u003cbr\u003e\n  ✦ Manufacturer: SevChern, Veliky Ustyug — since 1683\u003cbr\u003e\n  ✦ Delivery: in gift box\u003cbr\u003e\n  ✦ Made-to-Order — Reorder possible\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe 2-Piece System — Ice and Caviar, Separate Yet Together\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCaviar cannot tolerate heat. Just a few degrees too much change its texture and taste — Russian court chefs knew this, and connoisseurs know it today. The solution was the same in the 19th century as it is here: an outer bowl for ice, an inner bowl for caviar, both made of the same material, both coordinated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe outer ice bowl holds 400 ml — enough for a bed of crushed ice that keeps the inner caviar bowl with its 150 ml constantly at temperature. The inner bowl sits securely in the ice, can be easily removed, and shows a fine beaded band on its outer surface at the rim — a detail that is only seen when serving. Both fully gilded inside, both made of solid 925 silver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a decoration that just happens to work. This is a well-thought-out caviar set where function and form speak the same language. If you serve caviar — at a New Year's Eve dinner, an anniversary, a reception — this system ensures that it arrives as it is intended: cold, fresh, on gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Double-Headed Eagle — Imperial Coat of Arms on 925 Silver\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe central medallion on the niello band shows the Russian double-headed eagle: two heads, one crown, scepter and orb in its talons. This is the imperial coat of arms — the state emblem of the Russian Empire since the 15th century, a symbol of power in two directions, of the unity of East and West, of imperial inviolability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe niello technique, in which this coat of arms is executed, enhances the effect. Niello is a black alloy of silver, copper, lead, and sulfur, which is melted into the engraved depressions — a chemical-physical connection with the silver, not a lacquer, not a paint. The result is a deep, almost velvety contrast: black imperial coat of arms on a silver background, framed by symmetrical acanthus tendrils on both sides of the medallion, partially gilded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo gilded braided bands frame the entire niello decorative band at the top and bottom — a classic design element of Russian goldsmith art, which gives the piece its courtly character. Whoever places this caviar set on the table places more than silver on the table. They place an attitude on the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery piece from the SevChern manufactory bears the artist's manufactory mark — a Russian manufactory mark that honors the designer who created the drawing for the decorative band and implemented it on the silver. In addition, a 925 mark and Russian state hallmark guarantee the silver content and origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAs a Gift — Wedding, Anniversary, Connoisseurs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis caviar set is a gift for people who have everything. For the person you don't approach with a wine cooler or a wooden board. For couples getting married whose table is already set — but does not yet contain a piece that tells a story. For the celebrant who has been drinking red wine from the right glass and spooning caviar from the right tin for decades, but still lacks the right vessel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a \u003cstrong\u003esilver wedding anniversary\u003c\/strong\u003e, this caviar set is a statement: 25 years of shared table culture, and now comes the piece that stays. For a \u003cstrong\u003egolden wedding anniversary\u003c\/strong\u003e even more — fully gilded inside, with the imperial coat of arms outside, for a couple who have known decades of elegance. The same applies to \u003cstrong\u003ebirthdays from 50\u003c\/strong\u003e: Here you are not looking for a disposable gift, but an object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a \u003cstrong\u003egift for business partners\u003c\/strong\u003e or customers with an international background — Russian goldsmith art of this quality is rarely available in Western Europe. This makes it a conversation piece, an ambassador, a sign that you understand what you are dealing with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe set comes in a gift box — no wrapping needed, no improvisation. It arrives as it is intended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince this caviar set is part of SevChern's \u003cstrong\u003eSouverän Collection\u003c\/strong\u003e, it can be expanded into a complete Russian dinner service: tea set, teapot, milk jug, sugar bowl, and teacup bear the same niello decorative band, the same double-headed eagle, the same gilding. Those who start with the caviar bowl today can complete the collection little by little — or give the entire set at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEngraving, SilberVerse Card \u0026 Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe base ring and the lower edge offer space for a personal dedication — date, initials, a short sentence. Contact us when ordering, we will be happy to advise you on the engraving option for this piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn request, we can include a personal \u003cstrong\u003eSilberVerse card\u003c\/strong\u003e in photo format (10×15 cm) — individually designed, suitable for the occasion and currently free of charge. Whether for a wedding, an anniversary or as an accompaniment to a gift without words of its own: The SilberVerse card turns the object into a gift with a voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e 925 silver tarnishes over time — this is not a defect, this is silver. The shine can be restored in a few minutes with a soft silver polishing cloth. Never treat gilded surfaces with abrasive cleaners. Niello becomes more beautiful over time: the contrasts deepen when polished, the decorative band gains depth. Not dishwasher safe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is the caviar set two-piece?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 2-piece system separates ice and caviar: The outer ice bowl (400 ml) keeps the inner caviar bowl (150 ml) constantly at the optimal serving temperature. Caviar should be served between 0 and 4 degrees — this system allows this at the table without a refrigerator compartment. Function and form from a single mold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the double-headed eagle on the decorative band mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Russian double-headed eagle with crown, scepter, and orb is the historical imperial coat of arms of the Russian Empire — a symbol of imperial power and the unity of East and West. On this caviar set, it is executed in niello technique: a black metal alloy that is melted into engraved depressions, resulting in a permanent, deep drawing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is niello and how does it differ from normal engravings?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNiello is an embellishment technique over 3000 years old: A black alloy of silver, copper, lead, and sulfur is melted into engraved depressions and forms a chemical-physical bond with the silver. The result is not a lacquer, not a paint — it is an integral part of the silver. Niello becomes more beautiful over time, not worse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I combine the caviar set with other pieces from the Souverän Collection?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes — that's the idea behind the collection. The tea set, teapot, teacup, milk jug, and sugar bowl from the Souverän line bear the same decorative band with the double-headed eagle and acanthus tendrils. You can start with one piece and gradually expand the collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: linear-gradient(135deg, #f8f6f0 0%, #fff 100%); border: 1px solid #e8e0d0; border-radius: 8px; padding: 32px; text-align: center; margin: 32px 0;\"\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"font-size: 1.1em; margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiscover the complete Caviar Set in 925 Silver\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 24px; color: #555;\"\u003eFor weddings, anniversaries, and special tables — Russian goldsmith art with double-headed eagle and niello decor.
