Drinking cup 925 silver gold plated Niello | Astra Classic | 225ml

Astra Classic drinking cup – The universal companion for every enjoyment

The Astra Classic drinking glass, crafted from 925 sterling silver, is more than just a drinking vessel – it's the perfect companion for every occasion and every beverage. With its gold-plated rim inside and out, a gold-plated floral band around the top, a gold-plated foot ring at the bottom, and three hand-engraved niello flower clusters, it combines Russian craftsmanship with everyday practicality. Its 225 ml capacity makes it ideal for water, whiskey, cocktails, long drinks, juice, or milk. Weighing just 167 grams, it feels comfortable in the hand and demonstrates with every sip that true quality is palpable.

The Astra Classic drinking cup is the luxury version with significantly more gold plating than the 110 ml water cup – the gold-plated floral band and the gold-plated foot ring make it an elegant statement for stylish moments of enjoyment day and night.

Triple gilding – floral band, rim and foot ring

The Astra Classic drinking cup features gold-plated accents in three places: on the upper rim (inside and out), as a floral band directly below the rim, and as a foot ring at the bottom. This triple gold plating is more elaborate than on the 110 ml water cup and makes the drinking cup the luxury version of the Astra Classic collection.

The gilded floral band features a hand-engraved floral pattern that wraps around the entire upper section – an additional embellishment that draws the eye upward and lends the tumbler a more refined appearance. The exterior has a matte finish and is adorned with 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 the central flower gilded – the signature accent of the Astra Classic collection.

225 ml – Perfect for cocktails, whiskey and more

With a 225 ml capacity, this drinking glass is perfectly sized for a variety of beverages: a generous glass of water, a double whiskey on the rocks, a gin and tonic, a Moscow Mule, a long drink, a large glass of juice, or cold milk. The conical shape (wider at the top, narrower at the bottom) sits securely on the table and is easy to grip. The gold-plated interior ensures that all drinks remain taste-neutral – no metallic aftertaste, just pure enjoyment.

The luxury version – more gold plating for special moments

The Astra Classic 225 ml drinking glass is the luxury version, featuring significantly more gold plating than the 110 ml water glass. While the 110 ml glass only has a gold-plated rim, the 225 ml drinking glass also boasts a gold-plated floral band at the top and a gold-plated foot ring at the bottom. This triple gold plating makes it an elegant statement piece for special occasions – whether for dinner, cocktails with friends, or an evening whiskey.

Many customers combine both sizes: 110 ml for spirits, vodka, or small servings, and 225 ml for cocktails, whiskey, long drinks, or larger servings of water. Both feature the same niello decoration and perfectly complement the Astra Classic water carafe, creating a versatile drinking vessel set for various occasions.

Frequently asked questions about the Astra Classic drinking cup

For which drinks is the drinking cup suitable?

The Astra Classic drinking glass is universally applicable: water, whiskey, cocktails (gin and tonic, Moscow Mule, Old Fashioned), long drinks, juice, cold milk, iced tea, or other cold beverages. With a 225 ml capacity, it's perfect for cocktails, a double whiskey on the rocks, or a generous glass of water. The gold-plated interior ensures that all drinks remain taste-neutral – no metallic aftertaste.

What is the difference compared to the 110 ml water cup?

The 225 ml drinking cup is the luxury version with significantly more gold plating: it features an additional gold-plated floral band around the top rim and a gold-plated foot ring at the bottom. The 110 ml water cup has only a gold-plated rim. Both have the same niello floral motifs, but the 225 ml drinking cup is larger (225 ml instead of 110 ml), heavier (167 g instead of 110 g), and considerably more elaborate due to the additional gold plating.

Does the drinking cup fit the Astra Classic water carafe?

Yes, perfect! The Astra Classic drinking cup and water carafe (1 liter) are from the same collection and harmonize in design, gilding, and niello decoration. Both feature the same floral niello patterns and gilded accent flowers. You can also combine the drinking cup with the 110 ml water cup – giving you different sizes for different occasions.

Why is there a gilded floral band at the top?

The gilded floral band is the hallmark of the luxury version, featuring a hand-engraved floral pattern that encircles the entire upper section. This additional embellishment makes the drinking cup more elaborate and elegant than the 110 ml water cup. It demonstrates that the SevChern manufactory offers various quality levels – from a simple water cup to the luxury version with triple gilding.

Can I put the drinking cup in the dishwasher?

We strongly recommend hand washing to protect the triple gilding and niello inlays. After use, rinse the cup with warm water and mild dish soap, then dry with a soft cloth. The high-gloss gilding (rim, floral band, foot ring) and the matte niello panels are sensitive to harsh detergents and the mechanical stress of dishwashers. With careful hand washing, the cup will remain pristine for decades.

A drinking cup for all moments of enjoyment.

The Astra Classic drinking cup is no ordinary cup. It's the perfect companion for every moment of enjoyment – ​​crafted from solid 925 sterling silver, triple gold-plated, and adorned with hand-engraved niello flowers. Whether it's water at lunchtime, whiskey in the evening, or a cocktail with friends, every time you drink from this cup, you'll feel the difference between mass-produced goods and handcrafted pieces. Weighing 167 grams, with a gold-plated floral band and a gold-plated foot ring – for those who understand that every moment of pleasure deserves beauty.
