Material and Workmanship

The shape is cylindrical and classic — straight walls, slightly flared rim, stable base, the traditional silver christening cup shape, as it has stood for generations as the first gift for life. The single handle is bent from one piece of silver and sits on the right side of the cup; a delicate volute ornament, small silver snail-like details with an almost baroque accent, is attached at the top and bottom. With a volume of 100 ml and a weight of 65 grams, the cup is compact and child-friendly. ZARAMELLA from Italy is responsible for this design language.

The Elephant as a Motif

On the front is a small, stylized elephant in relief, depicted in profile, with a round body, implied eye, small ear, and downward-curved trunk — freely placed on the polished silver, without a medallion or setting. In Europe, the elephant stands for strength, constancy, and a long memory, a fitting meaning for a keepsake that is to be preserved for generations. In the Asian symbolic world, it is additionally considered a classic symbol of good luck and a protective animal. For a christening or birth gift, the motif thus carries an open, positive message without religious or national designation.
