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

Two braids, a hinted dress, small hands holding something in front of the body – that's all it takes to turn a silver relief into a girl that every child can recognize themselves in. No coat of arms, no crown, no color: just a calm, figurative gesture in polished silver.

Material and Workmanship

The relief is carved from the cup wall – no color, no gilding, the small figure is the entire motif, everything else remains a smooth, polished surface of 925 Sterling Silver. The braided pigtails on the right and left are the crucial detail: braided hair has been a sign for "girl" in European imagery since the 19th century – in Biedermeier paintings as well as in early silversmithing. The dress suggests knee-length skirt pleats, the hands seem to hold something small. So precise that it can be read in silver, so open that every child can find themselves in it. The tulip-U silhouette with the Art Nouveau volute handle forms the calm stage for the small figure.

Occasions and Target Groups

This cup is deliberately not a princess motif with a crown or coat of arms – it relies on the figurative gesture instead of symbol and color. A child depicted as a child, not as a fairy tale figure. This makes it the perfect choice for the christening of a girl, the birth of a daughter, or the first birthday. For godparents and grandparents looking for a restrained, timeless gift, the girl figure is a quiet alternative to the heraldic motifs of the collection. The second cup in the same design language wears a jacket and pants instead of braids and a dress – both can be wonderfully combined as a sibling or twin gift.

Engraving and SilberVerse Card

The back is smooth and offers space for a name, christening date, or birth date. Nice additions to the motif are small ornamental frames, such as a wreath of flowers around the name, which picks up the delicacy of the figure on the front. Upon request, we will coordinate the design with you – please contact us shortly before ordering. In addition, with an engraving order, we are happy to include a personal SilberVerse card in photo format (15 × 10 cm landscape) – individually designed, suitable for the occasion and child, currently free of charge.

Care

925 Sterling Silver is durable and food-safe. After use, rinse with lukewarm water and mild detergent, dry with a soft cloth. For patina, a silver polishing cloth with gentle polish helps, especially in the area of the fine relief details. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents, do not put in the dishwasher. Between uses, it is best to store the cup in the supplied gift box or a velvet pouch.
