Children’s Set “Owls” – Silver with Niello & Engraving

An owl sits on its branch, surrounded by floating feathers – this motif can be found on all three pieces of this children's gift set made of 925 sterling silver. The cup features the owl scene on its wall, while the spoon and fork have the same owl at the end of their handles. For parents, grandparents, and godparents looking for a set for a christening or birth that is not only practical but also full of character, this set from the SevChern manufactory in Veliky Ustyug is a calm, gender-neutral choice.

Material and Craftsmanship

All three parts are made of 925 sterling silver. The owl motif is intricately worked into the metal as a fine, dark outline drawing – not a print, but a niello technique, where the lines are hand-engraved and filled with a dark metal compound. On the cup, the owl sits on a branch, surrounded by floating feathers, while the spoon and fork feature the same owl at the end of the handle with feathers as an ornament. Manufactured by SevChern in Veliky Ustyug, a manufactory with a long tradition in this technique.

Occasions and Target Groups

A children's tableware set made of 925 silver is not a gift for one season – it accompanies a child from christening or birth, first in everyday life, later as a keepsake. In many cultures, the owl symbolizes wisdom and curiosity, making it equally suitable as a gift for girls and boys. Anyone looking for a set for a godchild, grandchild, or their own child that is not specific to a color or gender will find a good choice here.

Engraving and SilberVerse Card

Personal engraving is possible upon request – a name, a date, or a short phrase. Simply contact us, and we will advise you on the appropriate area on the cup, spoon, or fork. If desired, the set can also be combined with a SilberVerse card in 15 × 10 cm format: digitally custom-designed, currently free of charge.

Care

925 sterling silver with niello decoration is easier to care for than many think: hand wash with warm water and mild dish soap, a soft cloth is sufficient. No dishwasher, no aggressive cleaning agents. A slight tarnish layer on the polished silver can be removed with a silver polishing cloth; the niello itself does not change.
