Baby spoon 925 silver & enamel – tomcat black-grey

Baby spoon 925 silver & enamel — Cat black-grey

With this spoon, the handle becomes the cat. The entire handle is shaped like a reclining cat—head facing the bowl and hind paws resting at the top of the handle. No added motif, no small symbol: the cat IS the handle. The black spots on the polished silver, the attentive eyes, and the pink paw pads at the end of the handle make this spoon something children instinctively grasp and never let go of. This baby spoon from the DoDo Tactile Collection combines tactile exploration with a child's first set of cutlery, crafted from 925 sterling silver.

When the handle becomes the cat — the design concept

Most baby spoons have a motif at the end of the handle—a bear, a star, a heart. This spoon takes a different approach: The entire handle is shaped like a reclining cat. The cat rests on the handle, its head turned forward toward the bowl of the spoon, its hind paws stretched upward. At the top of the handle, one paw displays its pink pads —a detail that children will immediately want to discover and touch.

The cat's face has an attentive, alert expression . Black enamel elements form the distinctive spots around the eyes, ears, and on the back. The round eyes don't gaze playfully like a kitten's, but calmly and confidently—a grown cat observing the world, unperturbed by anything. Between the black spots, the polished silver flashes through, creating the characteristic black and gray pattern.

For little hands, this means tactile discovery. The cat offers different textures—the smooth silver surfaces of its body, the three-dimensional ears, the raised paw pads. Children explore the cat's shape, feel its paws, and discover its whiskers. The spoon becomes a companion at mealtimes—a familiar animal that's easy to hold.

Material and workmanship

The baby spoon is made of 925 sterling silver — the internationally recognized standard for high-quality silver. The material is food-safe, tasteless, and suitable for everyday use. The polished spoon bowl has a smooth, easy-to-clean surface.

The colored enamel elements—black spots, pink paw pads—are applied individually and fired at high temperature . The black sits in the sculpted indentations of the fur, while the pink pads are applied as distinct colored areas to the paws. The result: long-lasting colors that won't flake off with normal use. The limited color palette—only black and pink on silver—gives the cat its elegant, graphic character.

Special features

• Pink paw pads: At the top of the handle, a paw shows its pink pads — a detail that children will immediately discover and touch.
• Black enamel spots: Distinctive fur pattern around eyes, ears and back — graphically clear, elegantly reduced.

Engraving service — personal and on request

A personal engraving transforms the baby spoon into a keepsake. A name, date of birth, or a short message—engraved on the back of the spoon bowl—makes it a truly personal gift. It's a particularly lovely idea for siblings: each child gets their own cat in their own color—with their own name.

Engraving is available upon request. Please contact us or use our engraving service to let us know your requirements.

SilverVerse Card — our personalized gift card: Upon request, we will create a custom SilverVerse card in photo format (10×15 cm) — tailored to the occasion, the recipient, and with your personal message. Each card is unique. Simply specify your request when ordering, and we will contact you to discuss the details. Currently free of charge — available with or without engraving.

Two variants — black-grey and black-orange

The tomcat baby spoon is available in two color schemes:

• Black-Grey (this spoon, SW10685): Black spots on polished silver, pink paw pads — calm, graphic, classic
• Black-Orange (SW10686) : Black spots with orange accents on the belly, pink paw pads — warmer, more vibrant, higher contrast

Both cats have the same reclining cat shape, the same attentive gaze, the same pink paw pads. The difference: Black-Gray is the reserved, elegant tomcat. Black-Orange is his more spirited brother. Together they tell the story of two cats with different personalities—but from the same litter.

Care

Rinse the baby spoon with warm water and mild dish soap after each use and dry with a soft cloth. The enamel elements are fired at high temperature and can withstand normal cleaning. A silver polishing cloth is sufficient for light patina on the silver surfaces. Not dishwasher safe. The gift box is suitable for storage when the spoon is not in daily use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the tomcat and the kitten spoons?
With the tomcat spoon, the entire handle is the cat figure —a reclining cat that forms the entire handle. With the kitten spoons, a small kitten motif sits at the top of the handle on a regular stem. The tomcat spoon is more three-dimensional, larger, and more tactile—a completely different category.

Why is the cat lying on the handle?
The reclining pose is a cat's natural resting position—relaxed, alert, and serene. It aligns with the symbolism of the tomcat: independence and quiet strength. At the same time, the spoon fits particularly well in the hand because the cat's shape ergonomically encloses the handle.

Is the spoon safe for babies?
Yes. 925 sterling silver is food-safe and tasteless. The enamel elements are permanently fired on and will not come off with normal use. The spoon bowl has a smooth, polished surface without any sharp edges.

How big is the spoon?
The baby spoon with the cat design is 12.5 cm long and weighs approximately 23 g. The reclining cat handle gives it a tangible presence in the hand — light enough for baby hands, heavy enough to feel substantial.

What do the pink paw pads mean?
The pink enamel paw pads at the top of the handle are more than just a detail—they're a tactile attraction. Children discover them when they grasp the toy and touch them again and again. At the same time, they serve as the distinguishing color: both cat variations have pink paws.

Is there a matching rattle for the cat spoon?
Yes, the 925 sterling silver baby rattle with a cat design is the perfect companion. The teething ring with an acrylic ring also features the cat motif and can be given together with the spoon as a cat-themed gift set.
