Material and workmanship

The shape is cylindrical and classic—straight walls, slightly flared rim, stable base; it lacks the tulip-shaped curve of the larger two-handled cup, opting instead for the traditional silver christening cup form. The single handle is bent from a piece of silver and attached to the right side of the cup; a filigree scroll ornament sits at the top and bottom joints—small silver snail-shell details that give the handle an almost Baroque accent. With a 100 ml volume and 65-gram weight, the cup is compact and fits perfectly in a child's hand. ZARAMELLA from Italy is responsible for this design language and its typical Italian detailing.

The steam locomotive motif

On the front, a classic steam locomotive sits as a dimensional relief, shown from the side, with a cab, suggested boiler, chimney, and four wheels with finely contoured spokes—nostalgically drawn, as if from an old model train set or a children's book. For generations, the train has represented travel, progress, and adventure in the world of children, but above all, the classic childhood dream of being a train driver. For a christening or birth gift, the motif captures this treasure in a piece of silver that will last a lifetime.

Occasions and target groups

This cup is the smaller, classic version of the Train line, traditionally presented by godparents at the christening ceremony. Key occasions include the christening of a boy, the birth of a son, and the first birthday; it is also suitable for the first tooth or a name day. The train motif is classically associated with boys; train-loving girls will also find the cup appealing, although it is not intended as a gender-neutral motif. Those looking for a neutral gift will find more suitable variants in the same Classic shape featuring bear, teddy bear, or elephant motifs.

Engraving and SilberVerse card

The smooth back of the cup is suitable for engraving—a name and christening date are standard, alternatively a monogram, birth date, or a short christening verse. Engraving is done after personal consultation; please contact us briefly before ordering so we can clarify placement, font, and text length. On request, we will also include the SilberVerse card with your order: a digitally customized photo-format card (15 × 10 cm), tailored to the occasion and the individual, free of charge and always a unique keepsake.

Care

925 sterling silver is durable. After use, rinse with lukewarm water and mild dish soap, then dry with a soft cloth. For tarnishing, use a silver polishing cloth without applying pressure—the filigree train relief, especially the wheel spokes and chimney, can be gently polished with a soft cloth; do not use abrasive cleaners. Not dishwasher safe, no silver dips, no aggressive cleaning agents. Store in the included gift box or a velvet pouch to minimize tarnishing and preserve the high gloss for years to come.

Frequently asked questions

Is the cup only suitable for boys?
The train motif is traditionally associated with boys but is not intended to be exclusively male. Train-loving girls or families who simply find the motif beautiful choose it as well. Those who prefer an explicitly gender-neutral motif will find bear, teddy bear, or elephant variants in the same Classic shape and price range.

Can the cup be engraved?
Yes. The smooth back is suitable for a name, christening date, birth date, monogram, or a short christening verse. Engraving is done after personal consultation; it is best to contact us briefly before ordering.

From what age is the cup suitable?
The dimensions (H 5.5 cm, 100 ml) with a single handle are suitable from about 6 months, as soon as a baby can sit up and grasp with one hand. For christening gifts for newborns, the cup often stays in the gift box until the child reaches the appropriate age.
