Children's Cup Campana 925 Silver — Trumpet-shaped, 100 ml

A christening mug can certainly make a festive appearance. The Campana children's mug, made of 925 sterling silver, features a trumpet or bell shape with a distinctly flared top rim and a clear base – "Campana" is Italian for bell, and its silhouette indeed resembles a small silver handbell. It bears no motif, but rather a shape that in itself appears festive.

For godparents looking for a ceremonial piece of silver, the bell shape inherently brings a small festive touch. Grandparents often see the Campana as a small trophy for the early years – the flared opening evokes a miniature chalice. And parents who desire a mug that creates its own presence at the ceremony or later on a shelf will find exactly that here: festive, without being obtrusive.

Material and workmanship

The Campana is made of solid 925 sterling silver and is highly polished both inside and out. The silhouette begins at the bottom on a clearly marked base, rises slenderly and bulbously, and opens trumpet-like towards the top – the rim is noticeably flared, like a small trophy. The handle remains deliberately simple: a smooth C-arc without ornaments, subservient to the strong form. At approx. 75 g, the Campana is the lightest mug in its collection without losing its presence – the trumpet shape requires less material for the same volume than a cylinder. It is manufactured by ZARAMELLA in Italy.

Occasions and target groups

The Campana is the festively designed silver christening mug among the motif-less models – its shape is particularly suitable for ceremonial occasions such as christenings, births, or first birthdays, as well as name days or the first tooth. It is popular with families who value ritualized moments: the engraved bell-shaped mug on the christening table, which is later brought out again for every birthday. As neither color nor shape dictates a direction, it is suitable for girls and boys alike.

Engraving and SilberVerse card

The smooth surface is completely available for engraving – especially the outward-curving upper part is suitable for dedications that follow the curve of the silhouette. Name, date of birth, christening date, a monogram, or a short christening verse can be festively implemented here in a flowing script. Engraving is available upon request, after a brief consultation on placement, font, and text length. With an engraving order, upon request, we include a free SilberVerse card in landscape format 15 x 10 cm: a digitally designed unique photo with a personal text about the occasion and the child.

Care

925 sterling silver is durable and food-safe. After use, lukewarm water with mild dish soap is sufficient, then dry with a soft cloth. If a light patina forms over time, a silver polishing cloth without pressure helps – the flared top rim can be refreshed particularly quickly. The mug is not dishwasher safe and should not come into contact with silver dips or aggressive cleaning agents. Between occasions, it is best stored in its gift box or a velvet pouch.
