Children's Cup DoDo 925 Silver Teddy Bear Boy — Bow Tie, 100 ml

The 925 Silver Children's Cup "Teddy Bear Boy" belongs to the ArgentA DoDo Collection — the tactile, educationally developed silver cup series for babies and toddlers. On the front, the cup features a three-dimensional silver relief of a standing teddy bear with a bow tie — a charming little gentleman-teddy, head slightly tilted, arms at its sides, with the bow tie as a fine detail. The DoDo signature sits on the handle: colorful enamel dots (green, yellow, blue), running like a small color chain along the handle. 925 sterling silver, highly polished — compact with 100 ml and only 70 grams.

For godparents who want to give a boy a silver gift with a child-friendly character — not a serious coat of arms, but a friendly companion with a bow tie. For grandparents who want to combine the classic teddy bear motif with educational elements. For parents looking for a christening cup for their son that is recognizable as "his" from the start: with a bow tie as a little gentleman's accent.

What makes this Teddy Bear Cup special for boys

The shape is classic cylindrical with a slightly raised rim — the purist basic silhouette of the DoDo collection, which brings the motif to the foreground. The teddy bear relief on the front is embossed plastically into the silver: a standing little teddy with a round head, arms at its body and — the characteristic detail — a bow tie at its neck. This transforms a generic teddy into a gentleman-teddy, a miniature gentleman. No enamel motif, no color — pure silver relief that shows character through form.

The handle bears the DoDo signature: an ergonomic looped handle with a row of colorful enamel dots in green, yellow, and blue. These dots are functional, not just decorative: they are intentionally tactile and promote fine motor skills, sense of touch, and color perception when grasped. Developed in collaboration with child psychologists and speech therapists.

The Teddy Bear with Bow Tie — the classic boy's companion

For over 100 years, the teddy bear has been the universal symbol in the European children's world for security, warmth, and a first friend. The detail that makes this teddy a boy's teddy is the bow tie — the little gentleman's accent at the neck. In the imagery of Western nursery traditions, this is a clear signal: "for a little gentleman." Where the teddy bear girl wears a bow as a girl's accent, the teddy bear boy has the bow tie. Both together make an ideal gift for twins or siblings.

The DoDo collection — tactile elements with an educational idea

DoDo is a special series within the ArgentA range: silver cups and cutlery with consciously tactile elements. Developed in collaboration with pediatricians, speech therapists, and child psychologists, all DoDo pieces share a common feature: colorful enamel dots on the handle or grip, which stimulate the sense of touch. The colors (green, yellow, blue) are deliberately primary — they also train color perception. For children in the gripping and learning-to-drink phase (approx. 6 to 24 months), this is more than decoration: it is silver that interacts with the child.

For what occasion — christening, birth and boy's milestones

Key occasions: christening of the boy, birth of a son, first birthday. Also as a gift for the first tooth, for a name day, or as a godparent's gift for later occasions. The teddy bear with bow tie is the classic christening cup motif for boys — warm, friendly, with a small gentleman's detail that emphasizes the boy's character without overdoing it. For siblings, the combination with the teddy bear girl cup makes a coordinated pair.

Engraving on request — name and christening date

The smooth back accepts an engraving — typically a name and christening date, alternatively a monogram, birth date, or a short christening verse. Engraving is done upon request after personal consultation. Please contact us briefly before ordering — we advise on placement, font, and text length. For engraving orders, we can include a free SilberVerse if desired — a individually written poem about the occasion and person, printed on photo paper and included with the gift.

Care

925 sterling silver is durable and food safe. After use, rinse with lukewarm water and mild dish soap, dry with a soft cloth. The enamel dots on the handle are fired at high temperature and permanently fixed — no abrasives, no aggressive cleaners. For patina, use a silver polishing cloth with gentle polish on the teddy bear relief. Do not put in the dishwasher, no silver dips directly on the enamel. Store in the DoDo gift box or in a velvet pouch.
