Child's cup, 925 sterling silver "Prince", enameled & gilded, with engraving

A coat of arms tells a story of belonging, not of disguise. The "Prince" children's cup made of 925 sterling silver embodies precisely this principle: a three-dimensionally shaped prince's coat of arms made of blue enamel, a silver shield, a golden crown, and golden wings – not a costume prince, but a heraldic sign for the place a child holds in their family. A slender tumbler with a delicate acanthus handle makes it a gift suitable for a christening ceremony as well as for everyday use thereafter.

Material and Workmanship

The slender tumbler shape fits comfortably in small hands: a delicately crafted acanthus handle made of curved silver tendrils, the coat of arms proportionally placed on the surface, subtle rather than overloaded. Made of 925 sterling silver, highly polished on the outside and with a natural silver tone on the inside, the cup displays a classic, minimalist character that endures both during the christening ceremony and in everyday life thereafter. The blue enamel of the coat of arms stands for loyalty, constancy, and truth in heraldry; the gold of the crown for dignity and responsibility – a color pairing considered particularly noble in European heraldry. The Royal Childhood collection by ArgentA combines classic Russian silversmithing with this heraldic imagery.

Occasions and Target Groups

Key occasions include a boy's christening, the birth of a son, or the first life milestones – from the first birthday to the first tooth to the name day. Typical gift-givers are godparents, who present the cup at the ceremony, grandparents seeking a generational gift, and parents who wish to give their son something that lasts beyond toys and clothing. For sibling gifts with a girl in the family, the Prince cup pairs wonderfully with its Princess counterpart.

Engraving and SilberVerse Card

The smooth back accepts an engraving – typically the son's name and christening date, or alternatively a monogram, a short christening verse, or a Bible verse. The engraving is done after personal consultation; we would be happy to advise you on placement and font size. With an engraving order, we can include a free SilberVerse card upon request: an individually designed photo motif in 15 × 10 cm landscape format, suitable for the occasion and person. Engraving in silver and poetry on paper together create a complete christening or birth gift.

Silver Cutlery for Boys

The Royal Childhood collection offers the entire Prince line as coordinated pieces: the Prince children's spoon and Prince children's fork adopt the same heraldic design. The Prince two-piece cutlery set and the Prince christening gift set, consisting of a cup and spoon, are available as complete sets. For a sibling gift with a girl in the family, we recommend the Princess children's spoon or the Princess set of cup and spoon as a counterpart.

Care

925 sterling silver is durable and food-safe. Clean the cup after use with lukewarm water and mild dish soap, then dry it with a soft cloth. For tarnish, a silver polishing cloth helps – in the area of the enamel coat of arms and the gilded crown, it is best to work without pressure. Avoid aggressive cleaning agents, silver dips directly on the enamel, and the dishwasher. For storage, the included Royal Childhood gift box or a velvet pouch is suitable, as this minimizes tarnishing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the cup be engraved?
Yes. The back is smoothly polished and ideal for a name, christening date, monogram, or a short christening verse. Please contact us briefly before ordering so that we can coordinate placement and font size together.

Is there a counterpart for a girl?
Not as a standalone cup. For girls, we recommend the Princess children's spoon or the Princess set of cup and spoon – both with a red enamel coat of arms and golden crown, designed analogously in heraldry.

Is the enamel safe for children?
Yes. The enamel is fired at high temperatures and permanently sealed, food-safe, and solvent-free. It is located exclusively on the coat of arms – the drinking area remains pure polished silver.
