Shot glass 925 silver gold-plated Niello | Astra Classic | 25ml

Astra Classic shot glass – Stylish presentation for fine spirits

The Astra Classic shot glass, crafted from 925 sterling silver, is the elegant choice for stylish moments with schnapps and vodka: a fully gold-plated interior, a matte exterior adorned with three hand-engraved niello flower clusters, a gold-plated rim, and a gold-plated ring. Its 25 ml capacity makes it perfect for fruit brandies, herbal liqueurs, vodka, or other shots. Weighing only 34 grams, it sits comfortably in the hand and demonstrates with every toast that true moments of enjoyment can be found even in small glasses – a shot glass that transforms every fine spirit into a visual experience.

The Astra Classic shot glass can be personalized – an engraving on the outside makes it a unique gift for schnapps lovers or for special occasions.

Fully gilded interior and three niello flower groups

The Astra Classic shot glass features a conical body without a stem – typical of Russian vodka and schnapps tradition. The interior is entirely plated with high-gloss gold – a luxurious finish that presents the schnapps or vodka with warmth and elegance. The gold plating is tasteless and protects the silver from tarnishing. The upper rim is wide and gold-plated, forming an elegant finish, with a narrow gold-plated ring running below it.

The exterior has a matte finish and features three symmetrically arranged niello flower clusters: 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. This combination of a fully gilded interior, matte silver surfaces, black niello decorations, and gilded accents is typical of the Astra Classic line and harmonizes perfectly with the decanter, cognac glass, and all other Astra pieces.

25 ml – Perfect for schnapps, vodka and short spirits

With a 25 ml capacity, this shot glass is perfectly sized for short spirits: a generous shot of schnapps (2-3 cl), a classic vodka (2 cl), a liqueur, or a fine grappa. The conical shape – wider at the top, narrower at the bottom – allows for comfortable drinking, and the lack of a stem gives the glass an authentic Russian feel: In Russian vodka tradition, schnapps and vodka glasses are placed on the table without a stem, not swirled like cognac, but drunk in one go or sipped deliberately. The 925 sterling silver ensures a pleasant feel in the mouth – cooler than glass, more elegant than plastic.

Frequently asked questions about the Astra Classic shot glass

Why doesn't the shot glass have a base?

The Astra Classic shot glass follows Russian vodka and schnapps tradition: vodka and schnapps glasses have no stem because they are not swirled like cognac, but rather placed on the table and drunk in one go or sipped deliberately. The conical shape without a stem is authentically Russian and indicates that this glass is intended for short spirits – not for swirling and warming, but for direct enjoyment. The absence of a stem also makes the glass more compact and stackable – perfect for vodka rituals with several glasses on a tray.

How much schnapps or vodka should I pour?

For a 25 ml shot glass, we recommend pouring approximately 20 ml (2 cl) – a classic shot portion. This amount is perfect for mindful enjoyment: not too much for the first sip, not too little for the aroma. In the Russian vodka ritual, the glass is often filled to the brim (25 ml = 2.5 cl) and drunk in one go – according to Russian tradition, vodka is not sipped, but drunk. The fully gold-plated interior presents the vodka or spirit in a particularly elegant way.

Does the shot glass match the carafe and the cognac glass?

Yes, perfect! The Astra Classic shot glass, decanter, and cognac glass are from the same collection and harmonize in design, gilding, and niello decoration. All three feature the same three niello flower groups with gilded accent flowers, all have fully gilded interiors, and all come from the SevChern manufactory. With one decanter (300 ml), six cognac glasses (150 ml), and six shot glasses (25 ml), this 13-piece spirits set creates a stylish table setting – perfect for dinner parties or evenings dedicated to fine spirits.

Can the shot glass be personalized?

Yes, the shot glass can be personalized on the outside. Upon request, we will engrave a name, date, initials, or a personal message on the matte silver surface between the niello flower clusters. The engraving is professional and permanent. This personalization makes the shot glass a unique gift for spirits enthusiasts, for birthdays, or other special occasions. A set of six engraved shot glasses is an unforgettable gift for those who appreciate fine spirits. Simply contact us with your engraving request!

Can I put the shot glass in the dishwasher?

We recommend handwashing with warm water and mild dish soap to protect the gilding and niello inlays. After use, rinse the glass with warm water (plain water is often sufficient for spirits or vodka), then dry it with a soft cloth. The high-gloss gilding (inside, rim, and ring) and the hand-engraved niello floral groups are sensitive to harsh detergents and the mechanical stress of dishwashers. With careful handwashing, the shot glass will remain pristine for decades.

A shot glass for stylish moments of enjoyment.

The Astra Classic shot glass is no ordinary shot glass. It's the elegant choice for those who understand that even small spirits deserve a fine glass – crafted from solid 925 sterling silver, fully gold-plated inside, and adorned with hand-engraved niello flowers. Every time you pour a shot, serve vodka, or toast with friends, you demonstrate that true moments of enjoyment depend not on the size of the glass, but on the quality of the moment. 25 ml, three niello flower clusters, and a fully gold-plated interior – for those who know that the right glass makes all the difference.
