Zaramella 925 Silver Imperator Children's Cutlery — 3-piece

The Zaramella 925 Sterling Silver Imperator Children's Cutlery — 3-piece set is a classic silver cutlery set for children: a tablespoon (17 cm), fork (17 cm), and knife (21.5 cm) made of 925 sterling silver, highly polished, crafted in the traditional Italian manufacturing style of Zaramella Argenti. The Imperator line features a delicate classicist ornamentation on the top and along the edge of the handle — a wave pattern, laurel leaves, and small palmettes at the end of the handle. Delivered in a dark blue presentation box with a satin lining.

Unlike most baby spoon sets, this cutlery is not a feeding tool for first solid food attempts, but a complete dining cutlery set in child size. The tablespoon is 17 cm long (compared to 12–14 cm for classic baby spoons), with the fork and knife scaled accordingly. This means the set can be used from toddler age, when the child eats at the family table with their own cutlery — and accompanies them through preschool and primary school. A piece of silverware, not a toy.

The Imperator Line — what defines the ornamentation

The name refers to the classicist silverware tradition of the 18th and early 19th centuries. Three decorative elements are located on the handle: a laurel or palm leaf motif at the top of the handle, a wave pattern along the edge of the handle, and a small palmette at the end of the handle. The style of the knife changes: a voluminous handle with a wave shaft and a round finial — typical for classic dining knives of the Imperator line. All elements are incorporated as fine reliefs, not as engravings — they withstand daily use without wear. Highly polished, without enamel, without gilding — the beauty lies in the polished silver itself.

Personalization and Care

The backs of the handles of the tablespoon, fork, and knife are smoothly polished and very suitable for engraving — initials plus birth date on each piece. The front features the Imperator ornamentation and remains untouched. We include a free SilberVerse card with every order. Clean by hand with mild dish soap, dry with a soft cloth. Do not put in the dishwasher — heat and harsh detergents attack the high-gloss polish. Treat reliefs on the handle top with a soft brush.

Frequently Asked Questions

From what age is the set suitable?
From toddler age, when the child eats independently at the dining table — typically from about 2–3 years old. With a tablespoon length of 17 cm, it is smaller than adult cutlery (approx. 20 cm) but noticeably larger than complementary feeding baby spoons (12 cm). Accompanies the child through kindergarten and primary school age.

How does it differ from Zaramella baby spoon sets?
Baby spoon sets (12 or 14 cm curved) are for feeding during the complementary feeding phase — curved shape, single spoon or combined with a cup/rattle. This Imperator set is a complete dining cutlery set (spoon, fork, knife) in child size — straight shape, for independent eating in toddler and primary school years.

Is the knife sharp enough to cut?
Yes. The blade is made of stainless steel with a cutting edge and cleanly cuts bread, meat, or fruit. To be used under supervision for toddlers — as is customary with any dining knife.

How do I wash the cutlery after eating?
By hand with warm water and mild dish soap, then immediately dry with a soft cloth. Not in the dishwasher — the high heat and aggressive detergents dull the high-gloss polish and can attack the steel blade. With careful hand care, the cutlery will remain beautiful for generations.
