Children's Mug Classico 925 Silver — Decorative Handle, 100 ml

A christening cup without a motif appears understated at first glance — and that is precisely its strength. The Classico children's cup, made of 925 sterling silver, deliberately foregoes relief and imagery, instead offering a blank canvas for what truly matters: a name, date, and a personal dedication. Its slightly bulging cylindrical shape and decorative handle with small volute ornaments make it a classic christening cup, as given by godparents for generations.

Material and workmanship

The cup is made of solid 925 sterling silver and is highly polished both inside and out. The walls gently curve outwards, and the upper rim is slightly bent, making the cup pleasant to drink from without fraying. The decorative handle features small silver volutes at both attachment points — a delicate detail from the Italian silversmith tradition that lends the cup its own character despite its understated design. The Classico is manufactured by Zaramella in Italy, completely without enamel, gilding, or colored elements.

Usage and occasions

The Classico is the traditional silver christening cup in its most balanced form. It is suitable for christenings, births, and first birthdays, but also works well for a first tooth, name day, or as a keepsake for any other early childhood milestone. As neither color nor motif dictates a direction, it is equally suitable for girls and boys and fits into any family tradition.

Engraving and SilberVerse card

Because the front remains completely smooth, the Classico offers the largest engraving surface in the entire collection. A name, birth date, christening date, a monogram, or a short christening verse can be placed here — engraving is done upon request, after a brief consultation on placement, font, and text length. If you order an engraving, we will gladly include a free SilberVerse card in landscape format (15 × 10 cm) — a unique, individually designed 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 develops over time, a silver polishing cloth without pressure will help — the volute ornaments on the handle can also be gently refreshed with it. The cup is not dishwasher safe. Between uses, it is best stored in the gift box or a velvet pouch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the Classico have no motif?

The entire surface is deliberately left blank so that you can have it individually engraved. This makes the cup unique through what you have engraved — not through a predetermined image.

From what age is the cup suitable?

With a volume of 100 ml, a height of approx. 6 cm, and an easy-to-grip handle, the Classico is suitable from about 6 months, as soon as a baby can sit and grasp with one hand. Many families initially keep it in the gift box if it is a christening gift for a newborn.

Is 925 silver safe for babies?

Yes. 925 sterling silver is food-safe and nickel-free — it has been the preferred material for children's silver for centuries. It is suitable for direct contact with milk, water, or tea.
