Child's Cup 925 Silver Girl — Silver Relief, Royal Childhood

Two braids, a hinted-at dress, small hands holding something in front of the body — that is all it takes to turn a silver relief into a girl that every child can see themselves in. No crest, no crown, no color: just a quiet, figurative gesture in polished silver.

Material and workmanship

The relief is crafted directly into the cup wall — no color, no gilding; the small figure is the entire motif, while everything else remains a smooth, polished 925 sterling silver surface. The braided hair on the left and right is the crucial detail: since the 19th century, braided hair has been a signifier for "girl" in European visual language — in Biedermeier paintings as well as in early silversmithing. The dress suggests knee-length skirt pleats, and the hands appear to be holding something small. So precise that it can be read in silver, yet open enough for every child to see themselves in it. The tulip U-silhouette with the Art Nouveau scroll handle serves as a quiet stage for the small figure.

Occasions and target groups

This cup is deliberately not a princess motif with a crown or crest — it relies on the figurative gesture rather than symbols and color. A child shown as a child, not as a fairytale figure. This makes it a fitting choice for a girl's baptism, the birth of a daughter, or a first birthday. For godparents and grandparents looking for an understated, timeless gift, the girl figure is a quiet alternative to the heraldic motifs of the collection. The second cup in the same design language features a jacket and trousers instead of braids and a dress — making them a wonderful combination for siblings or twins.

Engraving and SilberVerse card

The back is smooth and offers space for a name, baptism date, or birth date, subject to verification. Beautiful additions to the motif include small ornamental frames, such as a wreath of flowers around the name, which picks up on the delicacy of the figure on the front. Upon request, we will coordinate the design with you — please contact us shortly before placing your order. On request, we are happy to include with your order a personal SilberVerse card in photo format (15 × 10 cm landscape) — individually designed to suit the occasion and the child, free of charge.

Care

925 sterling silver consists of 92.5% fine silver and is durable. After use, rinse with lukewarm water and mild dish soap, then dry with a soft cloth. For patina, a silver polishing cloth provides a gentle polish, especially in the area of the fine relief details. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents and do not place in the dishwasher. Between occasions, it is best to store the cup in the included gift box or a velvet pouch.

Frequently asked questions
