FAQs

Silver christening mugs became widely popular during the 18th and 19th centuries as ceremonial gifts presented at baptisms or naming ceremonies. Crafting these items in sterling silver symbolised prosperity, health, and family heritage, serving as long-lasting heirlooms passed through generations.

Victorian silver mugs were typically raised from sterling silver sheets or cast in sections. Silversmiths used hand-chasing, repousse, and engraving techniques to create intricate floral, scroll, or foliage motifs, finishing the pieces with cast leaf-capped or double-scroll handles.

Authentic British mid-19th-century silver is identified by a complete set of hallmarks stamped into the metal casing. These include the makers mark, the sterling lion passant, the town mark, a date letter, and the duty mark depicting the reigning monarchs profile.

An antique silver cup can be integrated into contemporary decor as a small floral vase on a console table, an desk tidy for stationery, or displayed alongside glassware on a styled sideboard tray.

Maintain sterling silver by polishing gently with a soft microfibre cloth and a specialised silver cream, avoiding harsh abrasive cleaners. Store items in low-humidity environments or anti-tarnish bags to prevent rapid oxidisation.
