Is there a sun on the spoon? Yes, under the bowl, above a horse. This children's spoon made of 925 silver features a gilded design of a horse with a sun. A niello flower adorns the handle. You can give it as a gift for a christening, a birth, or a baby's first tooth.

Horse with sun: A toy horse made of lines

The horse is shown in profile. Above it shines a sun with rays. Circles and lozenges adorn its body, like on a painted wooden horse.

The design is engraved and gilded. A few flourishes at the horse's feet look like grass.

Five animals side by side: The horse in the row

The horse is part of a series: Little mouse · Little goat · Little pig · Rooster. They all share the same shape and niello flower.

For two spoons, you can choose two animals, such as a horse and a rooster. The entire series is in the children's spoon category.

Niello without the technical jargon: The flower at the end of the handle

We sell these spoons under the brand name Nielloa; the technique used is called niello. A design that goes beneath the surface of the silver and stays there.

The flower is engraved by hand in Weliki Ustjug. More pieces from the line are shown in the Nielloa christening gifts.

Horse with dedication: Twenty characters on the handle

There is room for 20 characters on the back of the handle. Choose the engraving service for the spoon and enter your text in the "Note at checkout". We will refund the flat fee if engraving is not possible.

If the handle isn't long enough for your words, a verse can help: Ask about the SilberVerse card, which is free and measures 15 × 10 cm.
