Christening Spoon 925 Silver Little Angel — Small Souvenir Spoon, Blackened

This christening spoon in 925 silver carries a little angel with wings at the end of the handle, three small stars on the slender, grooved handle and two little angels with a tendril ornament on the bowl. Godparents, parents and grandparents give it at a christening as a quiet sign of the idea of a guardian angel.

For a godmother and godfather it is a christening gift that is not heavy and yet carries meaning. Grandparents choose it when the grandchild's first piece of silver should suit the christening, and anyone bringing something to the church celebration does not have to think long about the motif.

Silver christening spoon with little angel: a christening gift for the godchild

In the Christian tradition the angel stands as an image of protection and blessing. For generations children have been wished a guardian angel on their way at their christening, in prayers, in songs, in small figures. This spoon carries the idea into silver: one little angel keeps watch at the end of the handle, and two more look at each other on the bowl.

Angel figure, stars and tendrils in detail

The figure at the top has curly hair, a little dress and small wings, and stands on a decorated ball. Below runs the slender handle with fine grooves, on which three stars sit. In the bowl two little angels with wings and halos face each other, framed by tendrils, with a small heart beneath. Handle and figures carry blackened recesses, and the bowl is polished to a high shine.

A christening keepsake, not children's cutlery

The spoon is so light and so small that it is meant as a christening keepsake, not as children's cutlery. It is not meant as a toy. For feeding or for holding in small hands it comes into question only under parental supervision.

Christening, godparenthood and family: who gives the spoon

Godparents bring the spoon to the celebration, and parents keep it as a memento of the day. If the celebration is not a church one, the duckling as a godparent gift and the bunny as a friendly alternative are available, both in the same size.

A SilberVerse card suits a christening: a verse for the child's name, printed on photo paper (15 × 10 cm, landscape) and free on request.

Frequently asked questions about the little angel spoon

When do I hand over the spoon, before, during or after the christening?
Most simply at the celebration itself, together with the card. If you cannot be there, send it shortly before or afterwards.

Are there other christening spoons in the shop?
If engraving matters to you: among the silver christening spoons there are models that can be engraved, for example with a guardian angel. On this souvenir spoon engraving is not possible.

How do I care for the little angel?
A silver polishing cloth does no harm: on the shiny areas you can polish as usual, and over the dark recesses a gentle stroke is enough. Store the spoon dry. On the handle and figure the blackened recesses stay dark: the blackening sits only on the surface, without lacquer or paint.

Which spoon fits if angels don't suit the family?
Then take a look at the duckling and the bunny : same size, but no religious motif. You will find more motifs among the angel gifts, if you would like to stay with the guardian angel.
