This carafe is one of them. Even before you fill it with water, even before the first hand reaches for it, the story begins: a vine winds diagonally across the bulbous silver body — not as a band, not as an ornamental frieze, but as a free composition. Naturalistic vine leaves fan out. Grapes hang heavy in the niello blackness. Tendrils entwine around the handle, run up the body to the lid. And in the center — where the vine pauses — an oval field opens. Empty. Waiting. It is your emblem that belongs there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBacchus was the Roman god of wine. Not merely a patron saint of drinkers, but the god who brought wine to humanity as a ritual — as community, as celebration, as a connection between gods and men. The carafe does not bear this name by chance. The vine is his symbol, and on 940 grams of 925 sterling silver, it lives on in niello blackness. When you place this carafe on the table, you bring a three-thousand-year-old narrative into the room — set in silver, made for your use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e1,550 ml capacity. That's two bottles of wine, or water for eight guests at a long table. The carafe is not a display piece — it is meant for use, for real tables, for evenings that will be remembered. C-handle, wide spout, lid with ring knob: all classically proportioned, all conceived as a single unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe oval engraving field in the center is the real highlight. The vine frames it like a picture frame of vine leaves — the composition is designed so that the field does not appear as an empty spot, but as a conscious point of rest. Your coat of arms. Your winery logo. Your initials. The monogram of an anniversary couple. This is the place waiting for your emblem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- INFO-BOX --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-left: 4px solid #967031; background: #f2f2f2; padding: 16px 20px; margin: 24px 0; line-height: 1.9;\"\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n  ✦ Material: 925 Sterling Silver (without gilding)\u003cbr\u003e\n  ✦ Technique: Niello engraving, free vine composition\u003cbr\u003e\n  ✦ Collection: Bacchus\u003cbr\u003e\n  ✦ Engraving field: oval field in the center, framed by the vine\u003cbr\u003e\n  ✦ Dimensions: H 270 × D 122 × W 155 mm\u003cbr\u003e\n  ✦ Capacity: 1,550 ml\u003cbr\u003e\n  ✦ Weight: approx. 940 g\u003cbr\u003e\n  ✦ Manufacturer: SevChern, Veliky Ustyug\u003cbr\u003e\n  ✦ Engraving: on request (engraving field available)\u003cbr\u003e\n  ✦ Delivery: in gift packaging\u003cbr\u003e\n  ✦ Hallmarks: confirms 925 fineness and manufacturer\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNiello — A Vine as a Free Painting on Silver\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThose familiar with niello silver usually know the classic variant: a uniform band of ornaments that runs around a cup or spoon handle. Regular, symmetrical, almost like a wallpaper pattern. That's beautiful. But it's not what the Bacchus carafe shows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHere, the niello engraver works like a painter. The vine has no band grid, no frieze, no repeating unit. It begins somewhere on the belly of the carafe, winds diagonally across the surface, pauses, branches out, continues — just as a real vine grows. The leaves are naturalistic: you can recognize the veins, the serrated edges, the attachment to the stem. The grapes hang in small clusters, round and heavy. The tendrils connect everything without overwhelming it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn niello, this means: every line of this composition was engraved into the silver. Then, the niello paste — an alloy of silver, copper, lead, and sulfur — was melted into the engraved depressions. The result is not a color, not a lacquer, not a printed layer. It is a chemical-physical bond with the silver itself. The blackness is in the metal, not on it. With every polish, the contrasts deepen — the vine becomes more beautiful with the years, not paler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor comparison: the Rosette collection features concentric circular mandalas, each an ornament in itself. Florentina displays flowing acanthus tendrils in a regular rhythm. Nektar encircles pouring vessels with a bee-flight band. Bacchus is of a different category — here, the entire silver surface is a single free drawing, which can be expressed differently on each carafe because the engraver follows the natural growth of the vine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBehind the Bacchus collection is SevChern, the manufactory in Veliky Ustyug — a city in northern Russia that has been known for its niello silver art for over 340 years. The engravers there learn their craft as a calling, not as a mere job. Each piece undergoes around 15 individual processes before leaving the manufactory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWine, Water, and a Crest — 1,550 ml for Grand Tables\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA carafe that holds almost two bottles is not an everyday table item. It belongs on tables where something is being celebrated. And that's exactly where the Bacchus carafe unfolds its true strength: as the centerpiece of a festive table, as a gift that lasts, as an object that carries a message — your message, engraved in the oval field amidst the grapevines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe engraving field is not a compromise squeezed into the composition. It is part of the design. The vine frames it like a picture frame of vine leaves — an oval bordered by grapes, leaves, and tendrils.

The engraving field accommodates a company logo or winery emblem, and the Bacchus symbolism — vine, grapes, the name of the wine god — makes the piece thematically coherent.

In ancient belief, he was not merely the patron saint of drinking, but the god who brought wine to humanity as a ritual, as community, and as a connection between gods and men. The vine is his most important symbol. That it runs across the silver on this carafe as a free composition — not tamed into a band, but as it grows — makes the name a statement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre there matching silver drinking glasses for the carafe?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/trinkglaeser-925-silber\"\u003eDrinking glasses made of 925 silver\u003c\/a\u003e are available on request — write to us when ordering if you wish to assemble the Bacchus carafe as a set.

Bacchus is a free composition: the vine has no repeating unit, no band grid, it flows across the surface like a drawn painting — and contains the oval engraving field that is not present in Rosette.
