Children’s Set “Owls” – Silver with Niello and Engraving

An owl sits on its branch, surrounded by floating feathers—this motif can be found on all three pieces of this children’s gift set made of 925 sterling silver. The cup features the owl scene on its wall, while the spoon and fork feature the same owl at the end of the handle. For parents, grandparents, and godparents looking for a set for a christening or birth that is not only practical but also full of character, this set from the SevChern manufactory in Veliky Ustyug is a calm, gender-neutral choice.

Material and workmanship

All three pieces are made of 925 sterling silver. The owl motif is incorporated into the metal as a fine, dark outline drawing—not a print, but using a niello technique, where the lines are engraved by hand and filled with a dark metal compound. On the cup, the owl sits on a branch surrounded by floating feathers, while the spoon and fork feature the same owl at the end of the handle with feathers as an ornament. Crafted by SevChern in Veliky Ustyug, a manufactory with a long tradition in this technique.

Occasions and target groups

A children’s tableware set made of 925 silver is not a gift for one season—it accompanies a child from their christening or birth, first in everyday life, and later as a keepsake. In many cultures, the owl stands for wisdom and curiosity, making it an equally suitable gift for girls and boys. If you are looking for a set for a godchild, a grandchild, or your own child that is not tied to a specific color or gender, this is a great choice.

Engraving and SilberVerse card

after inspection, a personal engraving is possible—a name, a date, or a short sentence. Just get in touch with us, and we will advise you on the appropriate area on the cup, spoon, or fork. If you wish, you can also combine the set with a SilberVerse card in 15 × 10 cm format: digitally customized and free of charge.

Care

925 sterling silver with niello decoration is easier to care for than many think: hand washing with warm water and mild detergent, and a soft cloth is sufficient. No dishwasher, no aggressive cleaning agents. A light tarnish on the polished silver can be removed with a silver polishing cloth; the niello itself remains unchanged.
