Christening Cross Ceramic Trinket Box with Lid - White

This white ceramic trinket box takes the shape of a cross, a small and gentle way to keep the treasures of a christening day together. The lid follows the cross outline exactly and lifts away to open a cross-shaped space beneath, so when it is closed the whole piece reads as one simple form. Across the arms of the lid, the word CHRISTENING is printed in warm gold lettering above a soft yellow heart with green leaves, while a lit candle in a yellow holder sits at the foot of the cross and fine sprigs of green leaves trim the ends of the arms. It measures 9.7cm wide, 6.7cm deep and 3.6cm high, compact enough for a narrow shelf.

We think it makes a thoughtful christening gift, one that holds its meaning long after the day itself. It is just the right size for a few precious things: a small pendant or ring, a pressed flower from the service, a tiny folded note or the first coin given on the day. Kept on a bedroom shelf, a dressing table or a bedside table, it sits quietly beside framed photographs and other keepsakes, and the white ceramic is easy to place against painted walls and natural wood alike.

The box is ceramic, with the lettering and motifs printed onto its smooth white surface, and the lid rests on the base rather than clipping or hinging, so it lifts straight off. It sits flat and steady on any level surface. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it with a slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away; like any ceramic, it is best handled gently, as a knock or a fall can chip it. For a finishing touch, slip a short handwritten message inside before you wrap it, so the first thing it keeps is a few words from you.
