Material and workmanship

Three details transform the teddy bear into a characterful figure: the white, brimmed captain's hat, the golden crown above it — which ties the cup to the Royal Childhood line, where every figure wears a crown — and the brown enamel, which recreates the teddy bear fur effect in artisan enamel. Brown enamel is considered more challenging to fire than red or blue: It is created from several layers of color fired one on top of the other to achieve the warm tone. The teddy bear's body is a medium-brown warm tone, small details like the nose and eyes are darker; the hat and crown are applied separately and high-gloss fired. Slight variations in color depth are typical for this enamel technique. The cup has the classic tulip U-shape of the collection with an Art Nouveau volute handle.

Occasions and target groups

Despite the universal teddy bear theme, the Captain Teddy is rather boy-oriented — the captain's hat and the brown color emphasis add a male-perceived accent. He is well-suited for boys fascinated by the sea or travel, for grandparents who want to see their grandson as a small, adventurous fellow, and for families with a connection to seafaring. As an occasion, the cup is particularly suitable for christenings, the birth of a son, or the first birthday — for families who want to give the child not only security but also a piece of adventurous spirit.

Engraving and SilberVerse card

The back is smooth and can be engraved. For this color-intensive motif, engraving works best simple and understated: name and date in a classic font, without an ornamental frame. Alternatively, maritime dedications such as "Little Captain," which pick up on the motif's narrative without overdoing it, are suitable. Engraving is done upon request after personal consultation. Upon request, we will include a personalized SilberVerse card in photo format (15 × 10 cm landscape) — individually designed, matching 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 dish soap, dry with a soft cloth. The enamel surfaces are fired and permanently fixed — no abrasive cleaners, no aggressive cleaning agents directly on them. For patina, a silver polishing cloth with gentle polish around the motif helps. Do not put in the dishwasher. Between occasions, it is best to store the cup in the supplied gift box or a velvet pouch.
