Material and Workmanship

The spoon and fork are made of 925 sterling silver. The owl motif is visible as a fine dark outline at the end of the handle — a niello hand-engraving where the lines are hand-etched into the silver and filled with a dark metal compound, ensuring they are permanently bonded to the surface. The spoon bowl is smoothly polished, and the tines of the fork are rounded and child-friendly in shape. Manufactured by SevChern in Veliky Ustyug.

Occasions and Target Groups

This set is suitable as a gift for a birth, christening, or first birthday. In many cultures, the owl symbolizes wisdom, protection, and vigilance — a motif that is not gender-specific, making it equally suitable for daughters, sons, grandchildren, and godchildren. Those looking for a gift that is not loud but lasting will find a fitting choice here.

Engraving and SilberVerse Card

The back of the handles of the spoon and fork can also be engraved — initials, name, or birth date; please contact us about this. The owl plaque itself remains untouched due to the niello inlay. We include a SilberVerse card (15 × 10 cm) with every order: individually designed digitally, currently free of charge.

Care

Hand wash with warm water and mild dish soap, dry with a soft cloth. Do not put in the dishwasher — heat and aggressive cleaners attack both silver and niello. The polished surfaces can be treated with a soft silver polishing cloth, while the niello lines themselves intentionally remain matte and should not be abrasively treated.
