The sterling silver exterior exhibits a polished finish while the inner bowl has a warm gold wash. Measuring 7.6 cm high, 6.3 cm wide, and 6.3 cm deep, this diminutive silver vessel brings traditional English character to a home. It suits placement on a sideboard top in a living room or dining area, or serves as a decorative display piece on a shelf.

FAQs

A Victorian silver christening mug is a traditional commemorative vessel crafted in sterling silver, historically gifted to infants upon their baptism or christening during the 19th century.

These pieces were typically crafted from hallmark-certified 925 sterling silver, decorated with hand-chased or engraved floral designs, and often feature a silver-gilt interior wash to prevent metal oxidisation.

Authentic Victorian pieces feature official British hallmarks stamped on the body or rim, including the makers mark, date letter, town mark, standard mark (passant lion), and the monarchs head duty mark.

A sterling silver christening mug works as a decorative object on a bookshelf, vanity tray, or sideboard top, often styled as a small vessel for micro floral displays or desktop storage.

Clean regularly using a soft microfiber cloth and specialised silver polish, avoiding abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemical dips that could strip delicate hand engraving or interior gilt lining.
