Children's Cup Puro 925 Silver — Cylinder, 100 ml

Sometimes the purest form is the most convincing. The Puro children's cup, made of 925 sterling silver, completely eschews flourishes, ornamentation, and motifs – a strict cylinder with straight walls and a smooth handle without any embellishment. "Puro" is Italian for pure, and that is precisely the concept: silver in its clearest form of expression, without distraction.

For godparents who appreciate the statement of pure form, the Puro is the cup that wants to show nothing but itself. Grandparents who adhere to the tradition of the simple silver christening cup, as it has been given since the 19th century, will find the most consistent implementation here. And parents with a penchant for clear, almost architectural lines appreciate exactly that: no curves, no ornamentation, no distraction from what the cup truly is.

Material and workmanship

The Puro is made of solid 925 sterling silver and is highly polished inside and out. The walls run perfectly straight, without bulging or tapering, the upper rim is only minimally bent over – just enough to make the cup comfortable to drink from. At the bottom, it stands on a tiny, barely visible base. The handle is a simple, smooth C-curve, neatly soldered to the cup body, completely without volutes or pearls. The Puro is manufactured by ZARAMELLA in Italy – a manufacturer whose design language deliberately focuses on pure lines instead of enamel or gilding.

Occasions and target groups

The Puro is the classic silver christening cup in its purest form, as it has been given by godparents for christening ceremonies for generations. It is suitable for baptisms, births, and first birthdays, as well as for the first tooth, name day, or as a keepsake for other milestones. Since neither the shape nor the color dictates a specific direction, it is suitable for girls and boys alike and fits into any family tradition. It is particularly popular with families who value a modern, minimalist aesthetic.

Engraving and SilverVerse Card

The cylindrical shape is particularly suitable for engraving: straight lines run straight, circumferential dedications can be cleanly implemented, and the entire side surface is available – name, date of birth, date of baptism, a monogram, or a multi-line dedication will find sufficient space here. Engraving is available upon request, after a brief consultation on placement, font, and text length. With an engraving order, we can include a free SilverVerse card in 15 x 10 cm landscape format: a digitally designed unique photo with 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 slight patina appears over time, a silver polishing cloth without pressure helps – the smooth cylindrical shape can be refreshed particularly quickly because no fine ornaments complicate polishing. The cup should not be put in the dishwasher, nor in silver baths or come into contact with aggressive cleaning agents. Between occasions, it is best stored in the gift box or a velvet pouch.

Frequently asked questions

Doesn't a cup without any motif look too plain?
The Puro is deliberately minimalist. In a selection full of motifs and embellishments, it is the design counterpart: the form itself is the design, and the entire surface is available for a personal engraving.

How does the Puro differ from the Classico?
Both are motif-free and weigh about the same. The Classico has a slightly bulging cylindrical shape with a decorative handle and volute ornaments, while the Puro has absolutely straight walls and a completely smooth handle – the most consistent, minimalist variant in the collection.

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