Tea glass holder “The Master” made of 925 silver with engraving option

This 925 sterling silver tea glass holder is the heaviest in the ArgentA series: approx. 156 g of silver, whose substance is evident from the first touch, not merely as a number. A narrow columnar band adorns the lower part of the outer wall, above which sits an oval cartouche framed with foliage and crowned with a shell motif. At its center is a smooth, open area: the engraving field that gives this holder its name, Der Meister.

Material and craftsmanship

A comparison of weights within the ArgentA podstakannik series shows the difference: the Barok model weighs approx. 105 g, the Bronze Horseman and St. George approx. 129 g each, while Der Meister weighs approx. 156 g. In practice, this difference is noticeable: more silver, more weight in the hand. Measuring H 95 x Ø 68 mm, it is slightly narrower in diameter than the Barok model (Ø 72 mm), giving it a more elongated, upright appearance. A narrow, column-like relief band runs around the lower part of the outer wall, above which is an oval cartouche framed with foliage and topped with a shell motif, with an open area at its center for engraving. The handle features a fine beaded pattern. The accompanying tea glass, H 100 x Ø 65 mm, 200 ml, with a diamond-cut pattern, fits precisely into the holder and lets the tea sparkle in the glass. The holder is made by ArgentA, Russia, and is hallmarked.

Use and occasions

The name Der Meister sets a high standard for the material, craftsmanship and occasion. This tea glass holder is suited to moments that matter: honors, awards, work anniversaries and retirement. For a business award, an engraved silver object bearing a name, date and dedication makes a gift that sits on a desk and is used every day instead of disappearing into a drawer. To mark retirement after many years with a company, a promotion or a milestone birthday at 50 or beyond, Der Meister with engraving makes a personal statement in silver. This holder also makes a distinctive addition to any collection of Russian tea culture or silver objects, thanks to its heavier weight and clean cartouche design.

Engraving and SilberVerse card

The oval engraving field at the center of the foliage cartouche is the only intentionally unadorned area of the outer wall, and is large enough for initials, a date, a name or a short dedication. A personal engraving makes the holder a one-of-a-kind piece, for one specific person and one special moment. Add the engraving service flat fee to your cart along with the holder; we’ll confirm the wording with you afterward. If you wish, we can also include a personalized SilberVerse card in landscape photo format, 15 x 10 cm, individually designed at no extra charge.

Care

925 sterling silver is easy to care for: hand-wash with mild dish soap and warm water for everyday cleaning; do not use a dishwasher. A soft silver polishing cloth is all you need to restore its shine. Wash the tea glass separately by hand. Store the holder in a dry place, preferably in the included gift box.
