Our pewter 'Acorn Cup' egg cup features the lovely natural texture and pattern of an acorn cup and when an egg is placed in it, has the appearance of an acorn. Our Acorn Christening egg cup and spoon set comes complete with a ribbon tied certificate for you to add your own personal message.
Unusual Christening Gifts
The egg cup has the English proverb "Great oaks from little acorns grow" around the inner base. The specially designed spoon has a delicate oak leaf finial and rests in grooves on top of the acorn cup. An unusual and lasting keepsake for both child and family.
Gift wrapping available for £4.00. To activate the gift wrapping and gift message options, add the acorn egg cup to your cart, then view your cart and select the gift wrap tick box underneath.
The egg cup is 4.5 cm (1.8 inches) in diameter and 2.5 cm (1 inch) tall and the spoon is 12.5 cm (4.9 inches) long. Packaged in a black presentation box.
Designed to be used and appreciated later in their adult life, long after the baby toys have been out grown and handed on. The certificate does not specify Christening so it can be given on other occasions too.
Acorns are a symbol of strength, potential, fertility and immortality. They remind us to look deep inside and discover the seed of something wonderful that is yet to develop. It will take time, persistence and the right nurturing, but something magnificent is waiting inside that precious acorn. Acorns are also considered to be a lucky symbol, representing prosperity, youthfulness, power and spiritual growth.
Pewter
Each Glover and Smith Christening design is handmade from solid polished lead-free pewter which is non-tarnishing (that was the lead content in old pewter). Because we use solid metal the surface of your acorn Christening egg cup will never flake like silver plated Christening gifts. To clean just wash with warm soapy water. All our designs are completely nickel-free and food safe. They are made exclusively by us in Salisbury, Wiltshire, UK.
