Children's spoon made of 925 silver with enamel - Ballerina

Some children dream of the stage long before they take their first steps in ballet class. For them, a little ballerina in a grey tutu dances on the handle of this 925 sterling silver children's spoon—a colorful enamel figure in a perfect dance pose that captures grace and movement. The slender, straight handle and the highly polished, oval bowl give the spoon an elegant, calm line that leaves the necessary space for the dancing figure.

Material and craftsmanship

The ballerina figure sits on the lower part of the straight handle and wears a grey tutu in multicolored enamel—each color applied individually and fired at a high temperature. Her red hair falls in suggested strands, arms and legs are designed in a delicate coral pink, and the ballet shoes are in grey. Unlike figurative attachments at the end of the handle, the enamel ballerina here sits directly on the stem, which gives the entire spoon its slim line. This spoon is crafted by Russkije Samozvety, one of Russia's most traditional manufactories based in St. Petersburg, which has been producing jewelry and silverware with a focus on enamel finishing for over 100 years. We at SilberKosmos curate this piece from the manufactory's range—the production itself is carried out by the local silversmiths.

Special features

The ballerina is more than just a pretty figure on a spoon. She stands for grace, discipline, and the beauty of movement—ballet embodies the connection between strength and elegance like few other art forms, as years of training and dedication lie behind its apparent ease. Those who gift this spoon give the child a quiet message: Dream big, work for it, and retain your grace while doing so. The ballerina as a motif on silver also has a cultural dimension—in the Russian manufactory tradition, ballet motifs are classic themes, from the Bolshoi Theatre to Swan Lake. Russkije Samozvety picks up on this tradition and translates it into delicate enamel art on silver.

Occasions and target groups

For a birth, this spoon follows an old tradition: the first piece of cutlery of one's own that accompanies a child for a lifetime. With the ballerina motif, you are not just gifting silver, but a wish for the future—grace, strength, and the freedom to dance your own path. For a christening, it combines tradition with a personal touch as a godparent's gift, especially with an engraving of the baptism date or name. For a first, second, or third birthday, it is a gift for girls who have already come into contact with ballet—or for anyone whose eyes light up at tutus, pointe shoes, and pirouettes, perhaps as a reward after their first ballet performance. For parents and grandparents looking for a gift that reflects the child's passion. For godparents who want to present something lasting—not a toy, but a keepsake. For ballet schools and dance teachers who want to mark a special occasion. For collectors of Russian enamel art who appreciate the ballet motif as a cultural theme.

Each card is individually designed for you, is free of charge, and can be ordered both with and without an engraving.

Care

Rinse the children's spoon by hand after use with warm water and mild detergent, then dry with a soft cloth. Important for enamel spoons: Do not use silver polish on the colored enamel surfaces, as the chemicals can attack the surface and tarnish the colors. For light patina on the bare silver surfaces—handle and bowl—a silver polishing cloth is sufficient, but only where no enamel has been applied. The spoon is not dishwasher safe. The included gift box is suitable for storage.

Frequently asked questions

Can the spoon be engraved?
Yes, an engraving is possible. The slender handle offers space for a name or a date—simply add the flat fee via the engraving service to your cart, and we will agree on the wording with you afterwards.

Is the enamel suitable for everyday use?
Yes. The enamel is fired at a high temperature and is therefore robust and colorfast. Nevertheless, do not use silver polish on the colored surfaces and rinse the spoon by hand, so the enamel remains vibrant for years.
