Water tumbler, 925 sterling silver, gold-plated with niello | Astra Classic | 110ml

Astra Classic water tumbler – Russian silver craftsmanship for stylish table culture

The Astra Classic water tumbler, crafted from 925 sterling silver, is more than just a drinking vessel – it's a statement of conscious enjoyment. With its gold-plated rim inside and out, matte silver finish, and three hand-engraved niello flower clusters, it combines Russian craftsmanship with versatile everyday practicality. Its 110 ml capacity makes it perfect for water, juice, spirits, vodka, or other cold beverages. Weighing just 110 grams, it sits comfortably in the hand, and every sip reveals that true quality is palpable.

The Astra Classic water tumbler perfectly complements the Astra Classic water carafe (1 liter) – together they form a harmonious set for stylish table settings. Whether for dinner, special occasions, or everyday use – this tumbler demonstrates that enjoyment knows no compromise.

Gilded rim and three niello flower groups

The Astra Classic water tumbler features a high-gloss, gold-plated rim that extends around the entire opening, both inside and out. This complete gilding protects the delicate edge from discoloration and gives the tumbler an elegant appearance. The gold-plated interior is taste-neutral and demonstrates that the SevChern manufactory makes no compromises – even where it isn't immediately apparent.

The outer surface has a matte finish and features three symmetrically arranged niello flower groups: a central group at the front and two on either side. Each group displays a hand-engraved flower with tendrils and leaves in deep black niello, with one flower in each group gilded – the signature accent of the Astra Classic collection. This symmetry is typical of Russian silversmithing and creates an elegant contrast between matte silver, black niello, and gleaming gold.

Versatile use – For every occasion

With a 110 ml capacity, this water cup is perfectly sized for various beverages: a generous sip of water, a small glass of juice, a fine spirit, or traditional Russian vodka. Its conical shape (wider at the top, narrower at the bottom) ensures it sits securely on the table and is easy to grip. The gold-plated interior prevents any metallic aftertaste, ensuring pure enjoyment.

Frequently asked questions about the Astra Classic water cup

For which drinks is the water cup suitable?

The Astra Classic water glass is versatile: it can hold water, juice, spirits, vodka, cold milk, iced tea, or other cold drinks. With a 110 ml capacity, it's perfect for a generous sip of water or a small glass of juice. Its traditional Russian dimensions make it ideal for spirits or vodka. The gold-plated interior ensures that all drinks remain taste-neutral – no metallic aftertaste.

Does the cup fit the Astra Classic water carafe?

Yes, perfect! The Astra Classic water tumbler and 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. Together, they form a 7-piece water set (1 carafe + 6 tumblers) for stylish table settings.

Why are there exactly 3 flower groups?

The three symmetrically arranged flower groups (one at the front, two on the sides) are typical of Russian silversmithing and have symbolic meaning: past, present, future – or also faith, love, hope. This symmetry creates balance and shows that the SevChern manufactory produces not only functional vessels, but works of art with meaning.

Can I put the mug in the dishwasher?

We strongly recommend hand washing to protect the 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 and 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.

Is the water cup available in other sizes?

Yes, the Astra Classic water tumbler is also available in a 225 ml capacity – twice the size of the 110 ml version. Many customers combine both sizes: 110 ml for spirits, vodka, or small servings, and 225 ml for water, juice, or larger portions. Both feature the same niello decoration and perfectly complement the water carafe.

A water cup that is more than just a container

The Astra Classic water tumbler is no ordinary tumbler. It's a statement of conscious enjoyment – ​​crafted from solid 925 sterling silver, gold-plated, and adorned with hand-engraved niello flowers.
