Children's cup 925 silver "Princess" - enamel & gilding

The "Princess" children's cup made of 925 sterling silver is a silver vessel for girls — from the ArgentA "Royal Childhood" collection. A slender tumbler with a delicate acanthus handle, holding approximately 150 ml. At its center, it features a sculpturally formed princess crest: red enamel as the base, a red shield in the middle, a golden crown above it, and golden wings on the sides. The smooth back can be engraved with a name and baptismal date — a personalized gift for a girl's baptism or birth.

For godparents who want to give their goddaughter a ceremonially appropriate heirloom with clear heraldic imagery. For grandparents who pass on a silver piece to their granddaughter that connects generations. For parents who want to give their daughter a lasting item — beyond toys and clothes, preserved for decades.

What makes this Princess cup for girls special

The slender tumbler shape makes the cup comfortable for small girls' hands: a delicately crafted acanthus handle made of curved silver tendrils, with the crest proportional to the surface, subtle and elegant. 925 sterling silver, highly polished on the outside, natural silver tone on the inside — a classic, understated cup character that suits a girl's baptism ceremony as well as everyday use thereafter. The crest in red guilloché enamel with a gilded crown and golden wings sits like a seal on the cup's surface, transforming the drinking cup into a heraldic gift for daughters, granddaughters, and goddaughters.

The Princess Crest — Heraldry instead of a fairytale figure

The crest on the cup is not a dress, a tiara, or a figure, but a heraldic symbol. In European tradition, a coat of arms represents identity, belonging, family — it tells a girl: You belong here, you have your place. The red enamel in heraldry stands for courage, strength, and love; the gold of the crown for dignity and generosity. The pair of red and gold is one of the oldest and most noble color combinations in heraldry. For a gift for a girl's birth or baptism, the crest carries a calm, strong message — and remains free from pink clichés and fairytale kitsch.

For what occasion — Baptism, birth, and milestones of a girl

Key occasions: Girl's baptism, birth of a daughter, or the first life milestones. Suitable for the first birthday, first tooth, name day. Popular gift-giver constellations: godparents (presenting the cup at the ceremony), grandparents (as a generational gift for their granddaughter), and parents (as a prospective heirloom for their daughter). The princess cup is also a beautiful piece for sibling gifts with a boy in the family — then paired with the Prince cup for twins or siblings.

Engraving on request — Name and baptismal date of the girl

The smooth back of the cup can be engraved — customary engravings include the daughter's name and baptismal date, alternatively a monogram, a short baptismal verse, or a Bible verse for the girl. Engraving is done after personal consultation; we advise on placement and font size. If you order an engraving, we will include a complimentary SilverVerse upon request — a handwritten poem tailored to the occasion and person, printed on photo paper, and enclosed with the gift. Engraving in silver plus poetry on paper together create a complete baptismal or birth gift for a girl.

Silver cutlery for girls — the matching set for the Princess cup

The Royal Childhood collection offers the entire Princess line for girls as coordinated pieces: the Princess children's spoon with crest and the Princess children's fork adopt the same heraldic design. Pre-assembled, there is the Princess 2-piece cutlery set (spoon + fork) and the Princess gift set (cup + spoon). For sibling gifts with a boy in the family, the Prince children's cup for boys serves as a counterpart — heraldically analogous in blue instead of red.

Care of the silver cup

925 sterling silver is durable and food-safe — safe for the girl from birth. After use, rinse with lukewarm water and mild dish soap, dry with a soft cloth. For patina, use a silver polishing cloth — gently around the enamel crest and gilded crown. Avoid aggressive cleaning agents, do not use silver dip directly on enamel, and do not put in the dishwasher. Store in the included Royal Childhood gift box or in a velvet pouch — this minimizes tarnishing. Silver remains radiant for decades with regular gentle polishing.

Frequent questions about the Princess cup

Can the cup be engraved?
Yes. The back is smoothly polished and ideal for the daughter's name, baptismal date, a monogram, or a short baptismal verse. Please contact us briefly before ordering — we will coordinate placement and font size.

Why red instead of pink for the girl?
Red is the heraldic color for courage, strength, and love — a color with history and weight. Pink is the costume color from fairy tale movies; red is the color of royal coats of arms for centuries. We deliberately chose traditional heraldry — a princess gift for girls without kitsch.

Is there a counterpart for a boy?
Yes. The Prince children's cup for boys is the counterpart in blue — same shape, same acanthus handle, same heraldic concept. Together, the Prince and Princess form a royal sibling or twin pair made of 925 silver.

Is the enamel safe for children and girls from birth?
Yes. The enamel is fired at high temperature and permanently sealed, food-safe, and solvent-free. It is only on the crest — the drinking area is pure polished silver.

How do I store the daughter's cup as a keepsake?
After the ceremony, the cup finds its place in a display case, on a glass shelf, or in the nursery among other baptismal mementos. For longer periods of non-use, the included Royal Childhood gift box or a velvet pouch is suitable — this minimizes tarnishing. Silver remains brilliant for decades with regular gentle polishing.

What works as a gift set combination for girls?
The Princess children's spoon for the first bite or the pre-curated Princess gift set (cup + spoon). With an additional Princess children's fork, it becomes a complete royal table silver for the girl.
