No tulip-shaped curve like the large two-handle cup, but rather the \u003cstrong\u003etraditional silver christening cup shape\u003c\/strong\u003e, as it has been the first gift for a new life for generations. The single handle is bent from a single piece of silver and sits on the right side of the cup. At the top and bottom attachment points, a \u003cstrong\u003efiligree volute ornament\u003c\/strong\u003e is added — small silver snail-like details that give the handle a handcrafted, almost baroque accent. Typical of Italian silversmithing tradition: a functional form, complemented by a small ornament that showcases craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith a volume of 100 ml and a weight of 65 grams, the cup is \u003cstrong\u003ecompact and child-friendly\u003c\/strong\u003e — enough for a sip of milk or water, light enough for a toddler to hold easily. Highly polished all around, without enamel, without gold plating: the silver itself provides the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Elephant as a Motif — Luck, Strength, and Long Memory\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the front is a \u003cstrong\u003esmall stylized elephant in relief\u003c\/strong\u003e — depicted from the side, with a round body, hinted eye, small ear, and downward-curving trunk. No medallion, no setting — the motif sits freely on the polished silver and adopts the aesthetic of the large two-handle cup in a compact form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn many cultures, the elephant is a symbol with positive depth: In Europe, it stands for \u003cstrong\u003estrength, steadfastness, and a long memory\u003c\/strong\u003e — a fitting meaning for a keepsake to be preserved for generations. In Asian symbolism, the elephant is a classic symbol of good luck and a sign of protection — a \"lucky elephant\" is passed on as a gift for birth in many families. For a christening or birth gift, the motif thus carries a universal, positive message without religious or national designation, open to every family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFor what occasion — the classic christening cup\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis cup is the \u003cstrong\u003esmaller, classic variant\u003c\/strong\u003e of the ZARAMELLA Elephant line — as traditionally presented by godparents at christening ceremonies. Key occasions: \u003cstrong\u003echristening\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ebirth\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003efirst birthday\u003c\/strong\u003e. Also suitable for the \u003cstrong\u003efirst tooth\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ename day\u003c\/strong\u003e, or as a \u003cstrong\u003elucky charm\u003c\/strong\u003e for other milestones. The elephant motif is \u003cstrong\u003egender-neutral\u003c\/strong\u003e and suitable for both girls and boys. Popular with godparents (classic christening cup), grandparents (as a reminder of their own childhood), and close friends who want to give a simple silver piece with positive symbolism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEngraving on request — name and christening date\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003esmooth back\u003c\/strong\u003e of the cup is suitable for engraving — typically name and christening date, alternatively monogram, birth date, or a short baptismal verse. Engraving is done \u003cstrong\u003eupon request\u003c\/strong\u003e after personal consultation — please contact us briefly before ordering, we advise on placement, font, and text length.

It is \u003cstrong\u003eergonomically curved\u003c\/strong\u003e and sits on the right side of the cup — so that a baby or toddler can hold the cup steadily with their dominant hand (or with the supporting hand of parents). At the top and bottom of the handle, there is a \u003cstrong\u003efiligree volute ornament\u003c\/strong\u003e — a small silver scroll that subtly marks the end of the handle. This detail is typical of Italian silversmithing aesthetics: functional yet handcrafted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eZARAMELLA — Italian Silver Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eZARAMELLA is an Italian silversmith workshop with a long tradition in baby and children's silver. The style of this manufacturer is characterized by \u003cstrong\u003epure form and classic lines\u003c\/strong\u003e — no enamel accents, no gold plating, no colored elements. What other manufacturers solve with color and gold, ZARAMELLA solves with form and delicate silver details. Each piece is hallmarked, highly polished, and delivered in a gift box. This aesthetic is deliberately \u003cstrong\u003etimeless\u003c\/strong\u003e — the Classic cup will look just as good in 30 years as it does today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Difference — Elephant Classic or Elephant with Two Handles?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe carry the elephant motif in two designs — both from ZARAMELLA in Italy, both with the same elephant relief:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThis cup (SW11722 Elephant Classic, one handle):\u003c\/strong\u003e Cylindrical classic christening cup, H 5.5 cm, 100 ml, 65 g, an elegant handle with volute ornament.

This Classic cup is \u003cstrong\u003esmaller and more classic\u003c\/strong\u003e: cylindrical shape, H 5.5 cm, 100 ml, 65 g, \u003cstrong\u003ean elegant handle\u003c\/strong\u003e with volute ornament – the traditional christening cup.

If you're looking for the classic small christening cup, choose this Classic – if you prefer the larger drinking cup with two handles, choose SW11717.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy an elephant – what is the meaning of the motif?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe elephant is a symbol of \u003cstrong\u003estrength, wisdom, and a long memory\u003c\/strong\u003e in many cultures. In Asian symbolism, it is also considered a symbol of good luck and a protective animal – a \"lucky elephant\". For a christening gift, the motif is particularly fitting: An elephant does not forget – just as this silver keepsake should remain for decades and carry family memories. Unlike heraldic motifs, the elephant motif is open and universal, without religious or national ties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the cup be engraved?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. The smooth back is ideal for an engraving — name, christening date, birth date, monogram, or a short baptismal verse. Engraving is done \u003cstrong\u003eupon request\u003c\/strong\u003e after personal consultation. Please contact us briefly before ordering — we will discuss placement, font, and text length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom what age is the cup suitable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe dimensions (H 5.5 cm, 100 ml, one handle) are suitable from approximately 6 months – as soon as a baby can sit and grasp with one hand. 925 sterling silver is food-safe and hypoallergenic, suitable for daily use. For christening gifts for newborns, the cup is often first stored in the gift box until the child reaches the appropriate age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs 925 silver safe for babies?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. 925 sterling silver is hypoallergenic, food-safe, and has been used for children's silver for centuries. Silver also has natural antibacterial properties — one reason why silver cups were historically considered the preferred drinking vessel for children. The cup is nickel-free and suitable for direct contact with milk, water, or tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I store the cup as a keepsake?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAfter use, the silver cup finds its place in a \u003cstrong\u003edisplay case\u003c\/strong\u003e, on a \u003cstrong\u003eglass shelf\u003c\/strong\u003e, or in the nursery among other keepsakes.
