Astra Classic 2-piece caviar dish – luxury presentation for fine delicacies

The Astra Classic two-piece caviar dish, crafted from 925 sterling silver, is the ultimate luxury accessory for caviar lovers and gourmets: two fully gold-plated dishes adorned with hand-engraved niello floral decorations. The larger ice bowl (Ø 69 mm, 100 ml) features three niello flower clusters around its body, while the smaller caviar dish (Ø 50 mm, 50 ml) has a continuous niello floral band. This ingenious two-dish system keeps caviar perfectly chilled – crushed ice in the ice bowl, caviar in the caviar dish on top. Ideal for Beluga, Oscietra, Sevruga, oysters, or other fine seafood. A gift for those who understand that true delicacies deserve an elegant presentation.

The Astra Classic 2-piece caviar dish can be personalized – an engraving on the outside makes it a unique gift for gourmets.

The ingenious 2-bowl system – caviar perfectly chilled

The Astra Classic caviar dish consists of two perfectly matched bowls: The larger ice bowl (Ø 69 mm × H 46 mm, 100 ml) forms the base and is filled with crushed ice. Its interior is entirely high-gloss gold-plated, the upper rim is wide and gold-plated, the exterior is matte and features three symmetrically arranged niello flower groups with gold-plated accent flowers – identical to the decoration of the carafe, glasses, and tray from the Astra Classic collection.

The smaller caviar dish (Ø 50 mm × H 41 mm, 50 ml) sits inside the ice bowl and is filled with caviar. Its interior is also entirely high-gloss gold-plated, the upper rim is wide and gold-plated, the exterior is matte and features a continuous niello floral band with fully gold-plated flowers – similar to the decoration of the teapot from the Astra Classic collection. The crushed ice in the lower dish keeps the caviar in the upper dish perfectly chilled (0-4°C) – thus ensuring the caviar remains fresh, aromatic, and retains its texture.

50 ml caviar dish – Perfect for 1-2 people

With a 50 ml capacity, the caviar dish is perfectly sized for 1-2 people: 50 ml corresponds to approximately 50-60 grams of caviar – a generous portion for a luxurious appetizer experience. The fully gold-plated interior presents the black or golden caviar in a particularly elegant way and is taste-neutral. The 925 sterling silver ensures a cool surface that retains the caviar's temperature longer than glass or porcelain.

Frequently asked questions about the Astra Classic 2-piece caviar dish

How does the two-shell system work?

The two-bowl system is ingeniously simple: Fill the larger ice bowl (bottom) with crushed ice. Then place the smaller caviar dish (top) inside the ice bowl – it sits securely on the ice. Fill the caviar dish with caviar, oysters, or other delicacies. The ice in the bottom bowl keeps the top bowl (and therefore the caviar) perfectly chilled at 0-4°C. This ensures the caviar stays fresh, aromatic, and retains its texture throughout the entire dinner party. After use, rinse both bowls with warm water and dry them.

How much caviar fits in the caviar dish?

The caviar dish has a capacity of 50 ml, which corresponds to approximately 50-60 grams of caviar. This amount is perfect for 1-2 people as a luxurious appetizer or for 4-6 people as a small tasting portion (approximately 10 grams per person on blinis or toast). For larger dinner parties, you can refill the caviar dish during the meal – the crushed ice in the ice bowl keeps the caviar chilled throughout. 50 ml is the classic size for Russian caviar dishes and allows for conscious, luxurious enjoyment.

Can I use the caviar dish for other delicacies as well?

Yes, absolutely! The caviar dish is incredibly versatile: for oysters (served in the ice bowl on ice, with lemon or sauce in the caviar dish), for shrimp or other fine seafood (chilled on ice), for luxurious dips like crème fraîche with caviar or salmon mousse, for tartare or carpaccio (served chilled), or as a presentation dish for small desserts (e.g., sorbet with champagne). The two-tiered system keeps everything perfectly chilled – ideal for stylish appetizers at dinner parties, New Year's Eve celebrations, or special occasions.

Can the caviar dish be personalized?

Yes, the caviar dish can be personalized on the outside. Upon request, we will engrave a name, date, initials, or a personal dedication on the matte silver surface (either on the ice bowl, the caviar dish, or both). The engraving is done professionally and permanently among the niello decorations. This personalization makes the caviar dish a unique gift for gourmets, caviar lovers, or for special occasions – for example, "For Michael · 60 years · 2025" or "For the anniversary · The gourmet experience begins." Simply contact us with your engraving request!

How do I clean the caviar dish?

We recommend handwashing with warm water and mild dish soap to protect the gilding and niello inlays. After use, rinse both bowls with warm water (to remove any caviar residue), then dry with a soft cloth. The high-gloss gilding (interior and rims) and the hand-engraved niello decorations are sensitive to harsh detergents and the mechanical stress of dishwashers. With careful handwashing, both bowls will remain pristine for decades. For tarnish from caviar or seafood, a silver polishing cloth can be used.

A gift for gourmets with the highest standards.

The Astra Classic 2-piece caviar dish is no ordinary accessory. It's the elegant choice for those who understand that exquisite delicacies deserve an exquisite presentation – crafted from solid 925 sterling silver, fully gilded inside, and adorned with hand-engraved niello flowers. Every time caviar is served, oysters are presented, or fine seafood graces the table, this caviar dish demonstrates that true moments of indulgence deserve the perfect accompaniment. Two dishes, niello embellishments, fully gilded interiors – for those who know that the right accessory makes all the difference.
