Child's cup, 925 sterling silver "Prince", enameled and gilded, with engraving

A coat of arms tells a story of belonging, not of dressing up. The "Prince" children's cup in 925 sterling silver embodies exactly this principle: a sculpted prince's crest made of blue enamel, a silver shield, a gold crown, and gold wings—not a costume prince, but a heraldic symbol for the place a child holds within their family. A slender tumbler with a delicate acanthus handle makes it a gift that is as suitable for a baptism ceremony as it is for everyday life thereafter.

Material and workmanship

The slender tumbler shape fits comfortably in small hands: a delicately crafted acanthus handle made of curved silver scrolls, with the crest placed proportionally to the surface—subtle rather than cluttered. Crafted from 925 sterling silver, highly polished on the outside and with a natural silver finish on the inside, the cup displays a classic, understated character that endures through the baptism ceremony and in daily life afterwards. In heraldry, the blue enamel of the crest represents loyalty, constancy, and truth, while the gold of the crown represents dignity and responsibility—a color pair considered particularly noble in European heraldry. The Royal Childhood collection by ArgentA combines classic Russian silversmithing with this heraldic visual language.

Occasions and target groups

Primary occasions include a boy's baptism, the birth of a son, or early life milestones—from the first birthday to the first tooth to a name day. Typical gift-givers are godparents presenting the cup at the ceremony, grandparents looking for a multi-generational gift, and parents who wish to give their son something that will last beyond toys and clothing. For sibling gifts where there is a girl in the family, the Prince cup can be wonderfully combined with its Princess counterpart.

Engraving and SilberVerse card

The smooth reverse side accommodates an engraving—a son's name and baptism date are common, alternatively a monogram, a short baptismal verse, or a Bible verse. You can add the engraving service flat rate directly to your shopping cart; we will coordinate the wording with you afterwards and are happy to advise you on placement and font size. Upon request, we will enclose a free SilberVerse card with your order: an individually designed photo motif in a 15 × 10 cm landscape format, tailored to the occasion and the person. Engraving on silver and poetry on paper together make for a complete baptism or birth gift.

Silver cutlery for boys

The Royal Childhood collection offers the entire Prince line as coordinated pieces: the Prince children's spoon and Prince children's fork feature the same heraldic design. The Prince cutlery set is available as a two-piece set, and the Prince baptism gift set includes both the cup and spoon. For a sibling gift with a girl in the family, we recommend the Princess children's spoon or the Princess cup and spoon set as a counterpart.

Care

925 sterling silver is durable. Clean the cup after use with lukewarm water and mild dish soap, then dry it with a soft cloth. A silver polishing cloth helps with patina—it is best to work without pressure in the area of the enamel crest and the gold-plated crown. Avoid aggressive cleaning agents, silver baths directly on the enamel, and the dishwasher. For storage, the included Royal Childhood gift box or a velvet pouch is suitable, as this minimizes re-tarnishing.

Frequently asked questions

Can the cup be engraved?
Yes. The back is smoothly polished and is ideal for a name, baptism date, monogram, or a short baptismal verse. You can add the engraving service flat rate directly to your shopping cart; we will coordinate the wording, placement, and font size with you afterwards.

Is there a counterpart for a girl?
Not as a standalone cup. For girls, we recommend the Princess children's spoon or the Princess cup and spoon set—both with a red enamel crest and gold crown, designed in an analogous heraldic style.

What should I look out for regarding the enamel?
The enamel is a fired glass-fused layer; clean it without abrasive agents and without pressure. It is located exclusively on the crest—the drinking area remains polished silver.
