Children's Cup Grazia 925 Silver — Tulip Shape, 100 ml

Not every christening cup has to be strict and straight. The Grazia children's cup in 925 sterling silver has a bulbous tulip shape that rounds softly at the bottom and opens gently towards the top – an almost vase-like silhouette that makes an impact through its curve alone. It deliberately dispenses with any motif: the entire surface remains free for a personal engraving.

For godparents looking for something graceful alongside simplicity, the Grazia is often the choice they linger on longest. Grandparents love to gift it to a granddaughter – or a grandson with an appreciation for classic forms, as the shape is not gender-specific. And parents who find the strict cylinder too sober will find exactly the right counterpart in the softly curved Grazia: a cup that tells a story through its lines before an engraving is even added.

Material and craftsmanship

The Grazia is made of solid 925 sterling silver, polished to a high gloss inside and out. It is softly rounded at the bottom like a small silver vase and opens in a funnel shape towards the top, without the rim appearing strongly flared. A subtle base further emphasizes the bulbous shape. The handle remains deliberately understated: a slender C-arch made from a single piece of silver with a slight volute curve at the lower attachment, which subordinates itself to the cup's silhouette. The cup is crafted by ZARAMELLA in Italy, a manufactory that focuses on pure form rather than enamel or gilding.

Occasions and target groups

The Grazia is a classic silver christening cup with a special elegance – suitable for christenings, births, and first birthdays, and equally popular for name days or as a keepsake for other milestones in early childhood. Its soft, almost feminine silhouette is particularly popular for girls, but it also appeals to boys with a sense for classic, graceful forms. Those who prefer to give a consciously gender-neutral gift will find a stricter alternative in the Classico or Puro from the same collection.

Engraving and SilberVerse card

The completely smooth surface is available for an individual engraving – names, dates of birth, christening dates, monograms, or short christening verses can all find a place here, and the bulbous shape allows for particularly beautiful, curved fonts that complement the cup's curve. The engraving is carried out after a brief consultation regarding placement, font, and text length. On request, we include a free 15 × 10 cm landscape format SilberVerse card with your order: a digitally designed, one-of-a-kind photo card with a personal text regarding the occasion and the child.

Care

925 sterling silver consists of 92.5% fine silver and is durable. After use, lukewarm water with a mild detergent is sufficient; dry afterwards with a soft cloth. If a light patina develops over time, a silver polishing cloth used without pressure will help – the bulbous, ornament-free shape makes it particularly easy to polish. The cup is not dishwasher safe and should not come into contact with silver dips or aggressive cleaning agents. For longer periods of non-use, it is best to store it in its gift box or a velvet pouch.

Frequently asked questions

How does the Grazia differ from other cups in the collection?
The Grazia is the only cup with a bulbous tulip shape. The Classico is only slightly bulbous, the Puro is a strict cylinder, and the Campana and Perla open into a trumpet shape at the top. If you are looking for softness and grace, the Grazia is the right choice.

Is the Grazia only suitable for girls?
No. While the shape appears feminine, it is not exclusively female – many families choose it for boys as well, as the tulip shape is firmly anchored in the European silver tradition.

From what age is the cup suitable?
With a volume of 100 ml, a height of 6 cm, and an easy-to-grip handle, the Grazia is suitable from about 6 months of age, as soon as a baby can sit up and grasp with one hand.
