Zaramella 925 Silver Imperator Children's Cutlery — 3-piece

When your child sits at the family table and eats with their own cutlery for the first time, it is a small milestone — and this 925 sterling silver set is the perfect accompaniment for that very moment. Not a weaning spoon, but a complete child-sized dining set: a dinner spoon, fork, and knife in the classicist Imperator design, which will see your child through their kindergarten and primary school years.

Material and workmanship

All three pieces are crafted from solid 925 sterling silver and high-gloss polished, with no enamel and no gold plating — the beauty lies solely in the polished silver. The Imperator ornamentation is located on the handle of the spoon and fork: a fine relief featuring a wave pattern, a laurel or palm leaf motif at the top of the handle, and a small palmette at the base. The design of the knife changes slightly — a more voluminous handle with a wave shaft and a round end knob, as dictated by the classic silver tradition of the 18th and early 19th centuries. All elements are incorporated as reliefs, not engraved, ensuring they withstand daily use without wearing down.

Usage and occasions

This set is intended for use as soon as your child begins eating independently at the dining table — usually from toddler age onwards. With a spoon and fork length of 17 cm, it sits between infant weaning spoons and adult cutlery, growing with your child over several years. It makes a beautiful gift for starting school, a birthday, or as a lasting keepsake from godparents and grandparents — gender-neutral in design and suitable for any child.

Engraving and SilberVerse card

The back of the handle of the spoon, fork, and knife is smoothly polished and well-suited for engraving — for example, with initials and a date of birth. The front, featuring the Imperator ornamentation, remains untouched. Upon request, we can include a personalized SilberVerse card in photo format (15 × 10 cm landscape) — individually designed to suit the occasion, free of charge.

Care

Clean the cutlery by hand with mild detergent and dry it afterwards with a soft cloth. We advise against using a dishwasher, as heat and aggressive detergent tabs can damage the high-gloss polish and the fine reliefs. In case of light tarnishing, a silver polishing cloth will help, gently reaching the wave and palmette patterns on the handle.

Frequently asked questions

From what age is this set suitable?

From toddler age, once your child eats at the dining table themselves — usually from about 2 to 3 years old. At 17 cm in length, the spoon is smaller than adult cutlery but significantly larger than an infant weaning spoon, accompanying your child through their kindergarten and primary school years.

Is the knife suitable for cutting?

Yes. The stainless steel blade cleanly cuts through bread, fruit, or soft meat. For small children, we recommend adult supervision, as with any dining table knife.

How does this set differ from a baby spoon set?

Baby spoon sets are designed for the weaning phase — smaller, often curved, and usually sold individually or combined with a cup. This set is a complete dining cutlery set consisting of a spoon, fork, and knife, intended for the years when your child is eating independently.
