FAQs

Silver christening mugs became popular gifts during the Victorian era to mark the birth or baptism of a child, often kept as a lifelong keepsake or heirloom.

These pieces are crafted from sterling silver, typically featuring hand-engraved motifs, cast handles, and sometimes a gilded interior known as wash gilding.

Authenticity is verified through hallmark stamps indicating the assay office, date letter, makers mark, and the standard sterling silver lion passant.

This piece can be displayed on a mantelpiece or bookshelf as a decorative cabinet object or used to hold small desk items.

Preserve the finish by dusting with a soft microfiber cloth and using specialized silver polish sparingly only when necessary to avoid removing fine engraving details.
