What is a Christening Mug?

As the name indicates, a christening mug is a mug totally made of silver and hallmarked in order to prove its quality and purity.

The silver christening cup is the symbol of love and honour to the newborn it is gifted to. The christening cup will be a long lasting item that will help commemorate a special moment of their life; one of the first important ones.

The christening cup is also sometimes used during the christening ceremony, which makes this object a lasting proof of the devotion and religious origins of the child.

Since the Georgian Era the christening cup remains a really popular christening gift to the baby sometimes passing from generation to generation.
