FAQs

Silver christening sets, typically comprising a cup or porringer and a spoon, have been traditionally gifted to infants during baptism ceremonies since the 17th century, symbolising wealth, good fortune, and a prosperous future.

These sets are predominantly crafted from sterling silver, often featuring hand-beaten or spun bowls paired with cast or forged spoons, housed in fitted leather-covered wooden cases lined with silk or velvet.

Authenticity is verified by examining the hallmarks stamped into the metal, which indicate the assay office, the makers mark, the standard of silver purity, and a date letter corresponding to the specific year of manufacture.

Displaying the set in its fitted presentation box on a mantlepiece or within a glass-fronted cabinet introduces a touch of traditional craftsmanship and heritage to modern living spaces.

Silver items should be cleaned sparingly using a non-abrasive specialized silver polish and a soft cloth to remove tarnish, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can damage the underlying metal and historic finish.
