About the Item
This sculptural cup holder is a richly detailed portrayal of winter life, movement, and the enduring traditions of our ancestors. Encircling the surface is a continuous relief scene depicting figures, animals, and dense pine forests woven into a dynamic narrative composition. The imagery reflects the seasonal rituals and rural practices that once formed an essential part of everyday existence, when winter journeys, hunting expeditions, and life in the forest were inseparable from survival and heritage.
Each cup holder is crafted exclusively for the client, with the possibility to tailor certain details to individual preferences. Estimated lead time is approximately 2-3 months from order confirmation.
Tall fir trees rise along the upper edge, forming a dramatic forest line, while below, figures advance through snow covered terrain and animals move in swift, purposeful motion. The scene captures the energy and tension of the moment, conveying the reality of winter life as it was lived by generations before us. The flowing, textured ground enhances the sense of movement, as if the landscape itself is in motion beneath their steps.
Every detail speaks to a time when such journeys were not symbolic, but necessary, when traditions were passed from father to son, and knowledge of the forest, the seasons, and the land shaped daily life. The cup holder becomes not only a functional object, but a vessel of memory, carrying within it the stories, skills, and rituals of our forebears.
The handle is sculpted in the form of intertwined branches, adding an organic, tactile element that visually connects the piece to the forest setting. The interior is finished in warm gold, creating a luminous contrast to the sculpted exterior and enhancing the intimate ritual of tea drinking during cold seasons, echoing the moments of rest and warmth that followed long days outdoors.
Crafted from 925 sterling silver and finished with interior 24 karat gold gilding, the cup holder is created using traditional techniques of artistic casting, hand chasing, and fine engraving. The depth of relief and precision of detail demonstrate a high level of craftsmanship and a deep respect for classical silversmithing traditions.
Both functional and decorative, this piece is a striking example of narrative silver, ideal for collectors of fine decorative arts and works that unite craftsmanship, heritage, and storytelling in a single, expressive form.
