Baby spoon 925 silver & enamel – tomcat black-orange

Baby spoon 925 silver & enamel — Cat black-orange

With this spoon, the handle becomes the cat—with a touch more temperament. The entire handle is shaped like a reclining tomcat—head towards the bowl and hind paws at the top of the handle. No added motif, no small symbol: the cat IS the handle. Where the black and gray version appears cool and graphic, the black and orange adds a warm touch: an orange enamel accent on the belly gives the cat a tricolored coat—black, orange, and silver. This baby spoon from the DoDo Tactile Collection combines tactile discovery with a child's first own cutlery set made of 925 sterling silver.

Tricoloured like a real cat — the design concept

Most baby spoons have a motif at the end of the handle—a bear, a star, a heart. This spoon takes a different approach: The entire handle is shaped like a reclining cat. The cat rests on the handle, its head turned forward toward the bowl of the spoon, its hind paws stretched upward. At the top of the handle, one paw displays its pink pads —a detail that children will immediately want to discover and touch.

The black and orange variant stands out from the black and gray version due to its tricolored coat pattern . In addition to the black enamel-like markings around the eyes, ears, and on the back, there is a bright orange accent on the belly. Black, orange, and polished silver—three colors reminiscent of the markings of real cats. This makes the tomcat appear more lively, warmer, and somewhat more playful than his more reserved black and gray counterpart.

For little hands, this means tactile discovery. The cat offers different textures—the smooth silver surfaces of its body, the three-dimensional ears, the raised paw pads, the orange belly patch. Children explore the cat's shape, feel its paws, and discover its colors. The spoon becomes a companion at mealtimes—a familiar animal that's easy to hold.

Material and workmanship

The baby spoon is made of 925 sterling silver — the internationally recognized standard for high-quality silver. The material is food-safe, tasteless, and suitable for everyday use. The polished spoon bowl has a smooth, easy-to-clean surface.

The colored enamel elements—black spots, an orange belly patch, and pink paw pads—are applied individually and fired at high temperature . Three colors applied in separate steps create the characteristic tricolor effect. The result: vibrant, long-lasting colors that won't chip or peel under normal use. The combination of black and orange on polished silver gives the cat its warm, lively character.

Engraving service — personal and on request

A personal engraving transforms the baby spoon into a keepsake. A name, date of birth, or a short message—engraved on the back of the spoon bowl—makes it a truly personal gift. It's a particularly lovely idea for siblings: each child gets their own cat in their own color—with their own name.

Engraving is available upon request. Please contact us or use our engraving service to let us know your requirements.

SilverVerse Card — our personalized gift card: Upon request, we will create a custom SilverVerse card in photo format (10×15 cm) — tailored to the occasion, the recipient, and with your personal message. Each card is unique. Simply specify your request when ordering, and we will contact you to discuss the details. Currently free of charge — available with or without engraving.

Two variants — black-orange and black-grey

The tomcat baby spoon is available in two color schemes:

• Black-Orange (this spoon, SW10686): Black spots with orange belly accent, pink paw pads — warm, tricolor, lively
• Black-Grey (SW10685) : Black spots on polished silver, pink paw pads — calm, graphic, classic

Both cats have the same reclining cat shape, the same attentive gaze, the same pink paw pads. The difference: Black and orange is the spirited tomcat. Black and gray is his more reserved brother. Together they tell the story of two cats with different personalities—but from the same litter.

Occasions and target groups

Who would find this spoon to be the right gift?

For everyone who loves cats —and there are more than you might think. The Baby Spoon Cat appeals to parents, grandparents, and godparents looking for a gift with personality for a birth, christening, or first birthday. Especially popular with:

• Cat families: Those who own a cat themselves often give a keepsake with a tomcat motif as a gift — the child grows up with the same symbolism.
• Siblings: Two male cats, two colors — black and orange and black and grey complement each other like two cats from the same litter
• For those who prefer a warmer look: The orange hue gives the cat a more lively expression than the purely graphic black and grey version.
• Collectors of the DoDo collection: Anyone who already owns a piece from the tactile collection can complement it with the cat.

On what occasions?

Birth , christening , first birthday, Christmas, Easter — or simply as a personal welcome gift. Together with the cat rattle, the spoon becomes the centerpiece of a thoughtful cat gift set.

Care

Rinse the baby spoon with warm water and mild dish soap after each use and dry with a soft cloth. The enamel elements are fired at high temperature and can withstand normal cleaning. A silver polishing cloth is sufficient for light patina on the silver surfaces. Not dishwasher safe. The gift box is suitable for storage when the spoon is not in daily use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between black and orange and black and grey?
Both cats have the same reclining cat shape and the same pink paw pads. The difference lies in the coloring: Black-Orange has an additional orange enamel accent on its belly, giving the cat a tricolored coat pattern—warmer and more vibrant. Black-Gray is limited to black and silver—calmer and more graphic.

What is the difference between the tomcat and the kitten spoons?
With the tomcat spoon, the entire handle is the cat figure —a reclining cat that forms the entire handle. With the kitten spoons, a small kitten motif sits at the top of the handle on a regular stem. The tomcat spoon is more three-dimensional, larger, and more tactile—a completely different category.

Is the spoon safe for babies?
Yes. 925 sterling silver is food-safe and tasteless. The enamel elements are permanently fired on and will not come off with normal use. The spoon bowl has a smooth, polished surface without any sharp edges.

How big is the spoon?
The baby spoon with the cat design is 12.5 cm long and weighs approximately 23 g. The reclining cat handle gives it a tangible presence in the hand — light enough for baby hands, heavy enough to feel substantial.

Why three colors instead of two?
The tricolored coat pattern—black, orange, and silver—is modeled after nature. Real cats often have multicolored fur. The orange accent on the belly breaks up the black and silver pattern and gives the cat a warmer, more vibrant look. For children, this means an extra splash of color to discover.

Is there a matching rattle for the cat spoon?
Yes, the 925 sterling silver baby rattle with a cat design is the perfect companion. The teething ring with an acrylic ring also features the cat motif and can be given together with the spoon as a cat-themed gift set.
