FAQs

During the Victorian era, silver christening mugs were traditionally given as baptismal gifts to newborns by godparents or family members, serving as both a cherished keepsake and a practical heirloom meant to secure a childs financial future or provide everyday tableware.

These mugs were typically fashioned from sterling silver using techniques such as spinning or raising the body from a flat sheet of metal, often complemented by hand-chased, engraved, or repousse decorative bands and applied handles.

Authenticity is verified by examining the traditional British hallmarks stamped into the metal, which typically include the makers mark, the standard mark (such as a lion passant for sterling silver), the assay office mark indicating the town of testing, and a date letter corresponding to the specific year of assay.

In contemporary interior styling, such pieces can be displayed on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or sideboard as metallic accent objects, or utilised functionally as a small vase for seasonal stems or a desk tidy for writing instruments.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using a specialized non-abrasive silver polish and a soft cloth to maintain its patina, avoiding harsh dips that can strip historical oxidisation, and stored in a low-humidity environment away from direct sunlight.
