Birth Spoon 925 Silver Chick — Small Souvenir Spoon, Blackened

This birth spoon in 925 silver is a small souvenir for the very first day: on the bowl, a chick hatches from its egg, and the handle is twisted like a cord with a heart in the middle. Godparents, grandparents and close friends of the family bring it along for the birth, as a keepsake of the moment when everything begins.

For the first visit after a birth you don't want to arrive empty-handed, but you don't want to carry anything bulky either. This is exactly what a spoon in this format is made for, and godmothers use it to send a message even before the christening.

Silver birth spoon with chick: a gift for the very first day

The chick stands at the beginning of many stories. It hatches, looks around, and the world begins. This is the very moment the bowl of the spoon shows, cast in silver and polished to a shine. Whoever gives the spoon gives an image of a beginning, which later rests in the chest of drawers or in the box of first memories.

You will find more silver spoons for babies among the silver baby spoons. This one is made above all to be kept and found again.

Twisted handle, heart and hatching chick: the spoon in detail

Take a close look at the bowl: the chick sits as a relief on the inside, surrounded by the eggshell, while the rim stays smooth and shiny. At the other end a small figure stands on a ball, with a fine tendril winding beneath it. The handle is twisted like a cord, with a small heart in the middle. Handle, figure and tendril are antique blackened, and the raised areas shine.

Small, light and not a toy: the spoon in the nursery

This spoon is small and very light. That is why we see it as a souvenir and keepsake, not as a plain baby spoon. It is not a toy. It can of course be used for feeding, and it is placed in the baby's hand only under parental supervision.

Who brings the spoon for a birth

The birth spoon suits the first weeks: for a visit to the maternity ward, a visit at home or, if you live far away, by post. Godparents slip it in with the congratulations card, grandparents pass on the first piece of silver with it, and friends of the family show that they have thought of the baby.

If the parents are expecting twins, bring two spoons of the same size with different motifs, for example the chick and the bunny with the flower handle: two designs, one pair. If the christening is already planned, the little angel , our christening spoon in the same size, belongs with them.

Frequently asked questions about the chick spoon

When do I give the birth spoon?
It is loveliest at the first visit or sent by post shortly after the birth. If you would like to bring something before the birth, for example to a baby shower, the bunny pair is a better fit. It is the spoon for the time before the birth.

What does antique blackened mean?
On the handle and figure the recesses of the relief are dark, while the raised areas stay light. The blackening is only on the surface, not a lacquer and not paint. With a silver polishing cloth you can gently re-polish the light areas without brightening the recesses.

Can I have a name engraved?
Engraving is not possible on this spoon. The personal part is taken care of by the SilberVerse card: a creatively written verse for the occasion and the name, printed on photo paper at 15 × 10 cm and free on request. If a name and birth date in the silver matter to you, the silver birth spoons show you models with a birth clock and engraving.

Does the chick also suit a christening?
The chick is our birth spoon. For a christening we recommend the little angel; you will find more ideas among the christening gifts.
