Duck Hunt vodka set for 4 persons, Zlatoust

The vodka set for four people from Zlatoust is a work that claims to be a ceremonial pedestal in the collection of a true aesthete. In the center of the composition is a massive black glass damask with a rounded silhouette, decorated with gilded engraved medallions and topped with a spherical stopper. The handles, molded in the form of fantastic beasts with eagle beaks and curved wings, give the vessel the expressiveness of a trophy captured during a royal hunt. The powerful leg, decorated with a complex ornament, turns into a lacquered base of deep black tone, made individually for each composition.

Four glasses placed on a velvety-smooth stand are made of metal covered with precious gold. Each contains a hand—cut and etched scene: a duck taking off, a lynx in the thicket, a bear by a forest lake, a hare frozen in a jump. Relief patterns intertwined with hunting subjects are highlighted by silver engraving, creating the illusion of morning frost on the grass. The inner surface of the glasses shines with warm gold, reflecting the light and enhancing the depth of each sip.

The set is aimed at those who appreciate the rituals and atmosphere of a festive feast, capable of conveying strength, prosperity and respect for traditions. Such a gift is not chosen for quantity, but for an accurate match to taste, memory, and status. There are no unnecessary details here: every line, every surface is thought out to the last engraving, which has absorbed the philosophy of handcraft and the solemnity of the moment.
