Material and workmanship

At the tip of the handle is a dial with the numbers 12, 3, 6, and 9, framed by baroque scrollwork — the hands are added by diamond engraving to indicate the time of birth. Below that, the main scene unfolds: a stork in flight with a baby bundle in its beak, with a city skyline in the background. Near the spoon bowl are two oval engraving fields for birth weight and birth height, part of the relief. The wide, oval spoon bowl is polished to a mirror finish and can also be used as a dessert or baby food spoon. The back of the handle is smooth and offers space for a first name and dedication.

Occasions and target groups

For a birth, it's a classic moment: The spoon is engraved with the exact time of birth, weight, and height and presented as a personal gift. For a baptism, the birth spoon combines the tradition of the silver spoon with personal birth data. For the first birthday, for anyone who wants to give a special gift belatedly.

Engraving and SilberVerse card

The engraving is done as a diamond engraving and includes the time of birth on the dial, birth weight, birth height, as well as a first name and dedication on the back — upon request. Since multiple fields are processed individually, please contact us before ordering. Additionally, we offer a free, digitally designed SilberVerse card in photo format 15 × 10 cm (landscape format).

Care

After use, wash the spoon by hand with warm water and mild dish soap, then dry with a soft cloth. Silver can develop a natural patina, which can be removed with a silver polishing cloth. Not suitable for dishwashers.
