Baptismal bowl with cross 925 silver 10.5x14

This baptismal shell with a cross made of 925 sterling silver is a generously sized liturgical silver vessel for the baptism ceremony. The cross is the focal point as a three-dimensional decorative element—not as an engraving area, but as a form that gives the piece its character.

Material and craftsmanship

Measuring 10.5 × 14 cm, this shell is one of the larger, more prominent models in our collection. 925 sterling silver, mirror-polished, hallmarked. The cross sits as a small, three-dimensional ornament on the upper edge of the shell—it defines the silhouette, while the large shell surface itself remains smooth and undivided. The piece is crafted in Italy, following the classic European silver tradition.

Usage and occasions

The cross is the central symbol of faith in Christianity—the sign used in the baptism ceremony to seal the child. A baptismal shell that prominently displays the cross makes this symbol tangible even in the silver itself. This shell is suitable for the baptism of both girls and boys, regardless of denomination, as well as for communion, a name day, or as a birth gift with a scheduled baptism date. Its size makes it particularly suitable if the shell is to play a prominent, visible role in the ceremony. If an engraving is more important to you than the pure cross ornament, it is worth taking a look at our shell models with an engraving area in our baptism gifts collection.

Engraving and SilberVerse card

This shell is deliberately designed without an engraving area—the cross is intended to have an impact through its shape, not through inscribed text. For a personal touch, we offer the SilberVerse card instead: an individually designed photo card in 15 × 10 cm format (landscape), matching the occasion and name, provided free of charge with your order. Simply state your request in the comment field, and we will get in touch to clarify the details.

Care

After use, rinse with lukewarm water and mild detergent, and dry with a soft cloth. If it tarnishes, use a silver polishing cloth, taking care around the cross ornament to ensure the three-dimensional lines retain their definition. Store in a gift box or velvet pouch; do not place in the dishwasher.

Frequently asked questions

Why is this shell not engravable? The cross is fully formed as a three-dimensional decoration—there is no smooth surface intended for engraving. The shell is meant to have an impact through its design, not through inscribed lettering.

How does the gift become personal then? Via the SilberVerse card—individually designed for the occasion and the recipient, available in a 15 × 10 cm format and can be ordered free of charge with your order.

Is the shell suitable for Protestant baptisms? Yes. The cross is recognized in all Christian traditions—Catholic, Protestant, in free churches, and for home baptisms.
