Material and craftsmanship

The grapes on the bowl of this goblet are not stylized graphics, but realistically designed: they hang from vines, the leaves show fine veins, and the tendrils wind around the motif. Every line is hand-engraved into the silver, with the black niello inlay subsequently melted into the grooves by flame, sanded flush, and polished — like ink in silver. The gold surfaces behind the grapes give the motif warmth and depth, as if light were filtering through grapevine leaves. The grape motif is part of the classic palette of Russian silversmithing — the grape has long stood for abundance and indulgence, symbols that find their natural place on a wine goblet. The interior of the goblet is fully gold-plated with fine gold, as are the rim and the base.

Use and occasions

With a volume of approx. 210 ml, this goblet provides enough room for swirling and sufficient space for the aromas of a generous red wine or an aromatic white wine. When gifted together with a good bottle for a wine tasting, the goblet remains long after the wine has been enjoyed — a gift idea that speaks for itself. For winemakers and all those connected to viticulture, a goblet with a grape motif in silver is a piece that finds its place in a wine cellar and is used for tastings. The grape also fits perfectly as a symbol of abundance and a new chapter in life for weddings or anniversaries. Those who don't just drink wine, but savor it, will find a goblet here that is taken just as seriously as its contents.

Engraving and SilberVerse card

Engraving is possible upon review — initials, a date, or a short phrase can be engraved on the base or the lower edge of the bowl, provided there is space next to the grape motif. Upon request with your order, we will include a 15 × 10 cm landscape-format SilberVerse card — a digitally customized card tailored to the occasion, recipient, and message, each one written solely for this order and complimentary.

Care

Clean by hand with lukewarm water and a mild detergent, then dry with a soft cloth. Do not use a dishwasher, aggressive cleaners, or scouring agents. A high-quality silver polishing cloth will maintain the luster of the polished surfaces over time. With age and regular polishing, the contrasts between the silver, gold, and niello black will continue to deepen.
