Children's Cup Grazia 925 Silver — Tulip Shape, 100 ml

The Grazia 925 Silver Children's Mug is the graceful, elegant variant in the ZARAMELLA Puro collection — five Italian silver mugs without motifs, distinguished solely by their shape and handle. The Grazia features a bulbous tulip shape: soft and round at the bottom, gently flaring upwards in a funnel shape — a feminine, almost vase-like silhouette with a classic base. The handle is a slender, smooth C-curve with a subtle volute finish. No enamel, no gilding, no motif — pure form. 100 ml, H 6 cm, 80 grams of solid 925 sterling silver, highly polished inside and out.

For godparents who want to choose a particularly elegant, feminine silver shape — without sacrificing the simplicity of a mug without a motif. For grandparents who want to give their granddaughter (or a grandson with a sense for classic aesthetics) a piece of silver with character. For parents who are looking for the opposite of a strict military cylinder shape: a softly curved mug that impresses simply by its silhouette.

What distinguishes the Grazia — its graceful silhouette

The shape is the defining characteristic of this mug. While the other Puro models appear as cylinders or strict bells, the Grazia features a bulbous tulip shape: The lower part is soft and round, almost like a small silver vase. The mug gently flares upwards in a funnel shape, without the upper rim appearing strongly flared. At the bottom, the mug stands on a subtle base that further emphasizes its bulbous form. The result is a feminine, vase-like silhouette that creates an artistic effect solely through its curves — without a motif, without ornament, just through the form itself.

The slender, smooth C-handle

The handle is deliberately understated: a slender C-shaped arch made from a single piece of silver, without decorative ornaments, with a slight volute curve at the bottom that smoothly transitions to the mug body. In contrast to the Classico (with its prominent decorative handle and volute ornaments at the top + bottom), the Grazia's handle is subordinate to its bulbous shape — the mug's silhouette remains the main feature, the handle is functional and a subtle complement. The grip width is suitable for children's hands from about 6 months, and the slender silhouette feels elegant even in adult hands.

Motif-free — and precisely for that reason, special

The Grazia has no relief, no medallion, no motif. The softly curved surface is completely smooth and polished — and thus fully available for individual engraving. A name, christening date, monogram, christening verse, or even a family crest finds more space on the bulbous surface than on a strictly cylindrical mug, and the engraver can even use a softly curved font to echo the curve of the silhouette. The mug becomes unique through engraving, not through embossed images.

For what occasion — christening, birth, and life milestones

The Grazia is a classic silver christening mug of particular elegance. Key occasions: christening, birth, first birthday. Also popular as a gift for a name day or as a keepsake for other important milestones. The shape appears somewhat more feminine than a strict cylinder or trumpet and is particularly often chosen for girls — but the mug is also a suitable choice for boys with a sense for classic, graceful forms. Those who wish to give a neutral gift will find stricter alternatives in the Classico or Puro.

Engraving on request — playing with the curve

The mug is completely smooth and can be engraved on the front, back, or all around — with the advantage that the engraver can work with the softly curved shape: a flowing script or a dedication that echoes the mug's curve looks particularly harmonious on this form. Common content: name, date of birth, christening date, monogram, short christening verse or Bible verse. Engraving is done on request after personal consultation — please contact us briefly before ordering, we advise on placement, font, and text length. For engraving orders, we can include a free SilverVerse on request — an individually written poem about the occasion and person, printed on photo paper and included with the gift.

ZARAMELLA — Italian silver craftsmanship

ZARAMELLA is an Italian silversmith workshop with a long tradition in baby and children's silver. The style of this manufacturer is characterized by pure form and classic lines — no enamel accents, no gilding, no colored elements. What other manufacturers solve with color and gold, ZARAMELLA solves with form alone: the tulip silhouette, the bulbous curve, the slender handle. Each piece is hallmarked, highly polished, and delivered in a gift box. This aesthetic is deliberately timeless — the Grazia will look as good in 30 years as it does today.

The ZARAMELLA Puro Collection — Five Shapes Without Motifs

The Grazia is part of a five-piece collection of Italian silver mugs without motifs. All five share material, volume (100 ml), and height (6 cm), but differ in shape and handle design:

• Classico (SW11746): slightly bulbous cylinder, decorative handle with volutes top + bottom, 85 g. The classic middle ground.
• This mug — Grazia (SW11747): bulbous tulip shape, slender smooth C-handle, 80 g. The elegant, almost graceful silhouette.
• Puro (SW11748): strict cylinder with straight walls, smooth C-handle, 85 g. The puristic, minimalist form.
• Campana (SW11749): trumpet shape with flared rim at the top, smooth C-handle, 75 g. The festive chalice shape.
• Perla (SW11750): trumpet shape like Campana, but with a finely beaded handle rim, 87 g. The finest artisanal detail.

If you prefer a feminine, vase-like silhouette, choose the Grazia. The other models offer stricter (Puro), more festive (Campana), or more detailed (Perla, Classico) shape ideas.

Care

925 Sterling silver is durable and food-safe. After use, rinse with lukewarm water and mild dish soap, dry with a soft cloth. For tarnish, use a silver polishing cloth without pressure — the bulbous silhouette is particularly forgiving as there are no fine ornaments where tarnish can get caught. Do not put in the dishwasher, no silver dips, no aggressive cleaning agents. Store in the provided gift box or a velvet pouch — this minimizes tarnishing and preserves the high polish for decades.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Grazia

How does the Grazia differ from the other Puro mugs?
The Grazia is the only mug in the collection with a bulbous tulip shape — round at the bottom, gently flaring upwards in a funnel shape. The Classico is a slightly bulbous cylinder (less pronounced), the Puro is a strict cylinder (not bulbous at all), Campana and Perla are trumpet shapes (other direction: wide at the top, narrower at the bottom). If you are looking for softness of form and grace, choose the Grazia.

Is the Grazia only suitable for girls?
The shape appears somewhat more feminine than a strict cylinder — but it is not exclusively female. Many families also choose the Grazia for boys because the classic tulip shape is rooted in European silver tradition. Those looking for an expressly gender-neutral or more masculine-leaning model will find more suitable silhouettes in the Classico or Puro.

Can the mug be engraved?
Yes. The entire surface is suitable for engraving. The bulbous shape allows for particularly beautiful curved fonts that play with the silhouette. Engraving is done on request after personal consultation.

From what age is the mug suitable?
The dimensions (H 6 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. For christening gifts for newborns, the mug is often first stored in the gift box.

Is 925 silver safe for babies?
Yes. 925 Sterling silver is hypoallergenic, food-safe, and has been used for children's silver for centuries. Silver also has natural antibacterial properties. The mug is nickel-free and suitable for direct contact with milk, water, or tea.

How do I store the mug as a keepsake?
After its period of use, the silver mug finds its place in a display cabinet, on a glass shelf, or in the nursery among other keepsakes. For longer storage, the provided gift box or a velvet pouch is suitable.
