This little pewter julep cup was a sweet gift from my friend Susan for Mr. Oliver on his blessing day. His name is delicately engraved on the front.
When I was born some of my dad's military comrades gave him two similar silver baby cups as congratulation. They sit on the bookshelf in my bedroom today. I will add Oliver's cup to that collection and send it with him someday when he embarks to have a family of his own.
I was delighted when I received this gift, so I've done a little legwork for you in case you ever consider doing the same - for a friend or your own children!
This site has a beautiful collection of cups - some very feminine with bow details, others with a nice bead detail.
Here's another site with reasonable prices and pretty inventory like this cup below:
Prices for the pewter cups seem to range from about $35.00 to $50.00, not including the cost of engraving. If you want silver, be prepared to pay a lot more!
Thanks Susan for thinking of Ollie!

It's so shiny! What a great way to commemorate a special birth of a special boy!
Let him use it. I love the baby cups that are all dinged up because the baby has been banging them on their tray.
