Description
This ceramic keepsake box is a long, slim certificate holder for a christening, finished in soft cream with printed detail across its lid. The word Christening runs along the centre in flowing golden yellow script, framed by two small green leaf sprigs, and beneath it a line of small capitals reads "May God bless you on this day and all the days to come." At one end sits a little book marked with a cross, and at the other a candle with a leafy sprig, so the lid tells the story of the day in a quiet, simple way. It measures 22.5cm long, 4cm high and 4cm deep, a neat size that keeps the certificate safe without taking over a shelf.
A christening certificate is easy to tuck in a drawer and lose track of, and this box gives it a proper home. Its narrow shape suits a certificate rolled up and laid inside, together with a small card from the service if you wish. It sits neatly on a bedroom shelf, a chest of drawers or a dressing table, and at only 4cm high it slips between books or rests at the back of a cupboard. We think it makes a thoughtful christening gift, the kind of present that is kept long after the day itself, with the printed blessing saying the words for you.
The box is ceramic, with a smooth cream surface and printed decoration, and its lid sits on top to close it. As with any ceramic piece, handle it with a little care and keep it where it will not be knocked. To keep it looking fresh, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it with a damp cloth and let it dry before closing the lid. For a christening gift, wrap it with a card on the day so it is ready for the certificate the moment it arrives.
