Children's Gift Set 925 Silver Niello Squirrel — Cup, Bowl, Spoon, Napkin Ring

A squirrel, four silver pieces, a place at the children's table. This children's gift set in 925 silver combines a cup, bowl, spoon and napkin ring with the same squirrel in niello design. It is suitable for a birth and a christening and comes in a dark blue box with a viewing window.

Children's gift set with squirrel: Four pieces for the children's table

The box contains a handled cup, a bowl with two handles, a children's spoon and a napkin ring. All four feature the same main character.

One squirrel, four appearances: Cup, bowl, ring and spoon

On the cup, the squirrel runs sideways between flower vines. On the bowl, it can be seen on both handles. On the napkin ring, it looks at you head-on from a medallion field. The spoon carries it at the handle end.

The squirrel often stands for diligence and storage because it collects nuts. It does not have a fixed meaning.

Niello on children's tableware: Dark lines in silver

The design on all four pieces is niello. The squirrels and vines were engraved by hand into the silver, filled with dark material and fired. Nothing is printed; the lines are in the metal.

Nielloa is our brand name for such pieces in the shop. Further gifts of this kind are shown in the Nielloa christening gifts selection.

First porridge, first sip: How to set the table with the set

The bowl is ready for the first porridge, the cup for the water to go with it. The spoon lies next to it, and the napkin ring keeps the napkin in place at the child's place.

Personal gifting: SilberVerse card and engraving by the maker

All four pieces can be engraved. The maker carries out the engraving and decides for each piece where and how it is placed. Write to us before ordering at shop@premiumgeschenk.de or via WhatsApp (+49 159 01912255), which piece you would like to personalize and with what text.

A SilberVerse card is suitable for the set, available free of charge on request. It features a verse about the name and occasion, printed on 15 × 10 cm.

For a birth or christening: Who gives this place setting as a gift

You can give it as a gift for a birth, a christening or a first birthday. Grandparents, godparents and godmothers can present it together.

More from the squirrel: Children's cup and children's plate

The same animal is also available individually. The children's cup with squirrel and the children's plate with squirrel help if you would like to put together a second place setting.

Squirrel set in silver: Answers to care, age and niello

How do I clean a silver spoon?
Wash all four pieces by hand in lukewarm water, use only a mild dishwashing liquid and dry them gently. Dishwashers and silver dipping baths are out of the question. If the silver tarnishes, a silver polishing cloth helps.

What is a meaningful gift for a birth?
One that lasts and is used in everyday life. A silver set with a cup, bowl and spoon fulfills both. Further suggestions are available in the gifts for a birth.

For what age is the set intended?
It is a gift for the first years of life. The cup, bowl and spoon are children's size. We do not prescribe a fixed age.

How does niello change over time?
With every polishing, the dark lines stand out more strongly. The guide What is niello? explains the technique.
