Material and Workmanship

The Astra Black collection is known for its intricate niello embellishments – a millennia-old technique in which a sulfur alloy is melted into finely engraved grooves and then polished. Niello is not an applied color, but chemically and physically bonds permanently with the silver. This creates a precise black-silver contrast that does not fade and even deepens with polishing over time. The delicate floral tendrils on the spoon handle follow the same basic floral pattern that runs through the entire Astra family. With a length of approx. 128 mm and a weight of approx. 25 g, the spoon lies pleasantly balanced in the hand.

Use and Occasions

This sugar spoon is the ideal choice for elegantly serving sugar, jam, or small confections – at the breakfast table as well as for coffee or tea time. It is an excellent gift for weddings, especially silver weddings, as well as for anniversaries, milestone birthdays, or as a stylish housewarming gift. For those who already own pieces from the Astra Black line or are adding to it piece by piece, this sugar spoon is a fitting addition to dessert forks, dessert knives, and other pieces in the collection.

Engraving and SilverVerse Card

Due to the delicate niello embellishment, a classic engraving is not possible on this sugar spoon. As a personal message, we recommend our SilverVerse card instead: an individually designed card in photo format 15 × 10 cm, currently free of charge, tailored to the occasion, recipient, and sender.

Care

Clean the sugar spoon with a soft cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. For the silver, you can use a special silver polishing cloth – be careful not to mechanically stress the niello embellishment to preserve the contrast. Store the spoon in its gift box to protect it from tarnishing and scratches.
