FAQs

Christening mugs gained immense popularity during the Victorian era as traditional gifts for newborns and baptisms, often commissioned to mark significant family milestones.

These items were predominantly crafted from sterling silver using techniques such as casting, repousse, chasing, and hand engraving to create ornate surface decoration.

Authenticity is determined by examining hallmarks stamped on the metal, which indicate the assay office, date letter, makers mark, and the standard of silver, typically the lion passant for sterling.

Such pieces can be displayed on a mantelpiece or bookshelf as part of a curated vignette, or utilized functionally to hold small desktop items like pens.

Antique silver should be washed gently in warm water with a mild, phosphate-free soap and dried thoroughly with a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh abrasive dips that can remove desirable patina.
