Children's spoon 925 silver bear — enamel

A stylized bear as a colorful red and blue enamel motif sits at the end of the handle of this 925 sterling silver children's spoon—simple, bold shapes, as if from a picture book. At approx. 16.3 cm in length, it is dessert spoon sized and therefore significantly larger than classic baby spoons—a spoon that will accompany the child for years instead of becoming too small after just a few months.

Motif and craftsmanship

The spoon follows a clear principle: a single, colored motif at the end of the handle, with the rest being smooth silver. The bear is applied as a flat enamel motif in red and blue, deliberately stylized and kept abstract—simple shapes, bold colors that seem just as harmonious for a baby as they do for a schoolchild. This spoon is crafted by the Russkiye Samotsvety manufactory in St. Petersburg, which has long specialized in silversmithing for children.

For what occasion and for whom

This bear is suitable for a birth as a joyful sign of protection at the beginning of life; for a baptism, the symbol fits well with a moment when the community takes on responsibility for the child. With its 16.3 cm length, the spoon can soon be used by the child themselves, growing beyond the baby years. The stylized bear in red and blue is intentionally kept neutral and is equally suitable for sons and daughters.

Engraving, personalization, and SilberVerse

An engraving can be added to the back of the long, smooth handle—such as a name, date of birth, date of baptism, or a short dedication. Please get in touch via our engraving service, and we will arrange the text and space with you. Upon request, we can also create a SilberVerse card for this gift: a specially written verse for the occasion, printed as a 15 × 10 cm landscape photo, available free of charge and without time limits. You can find more details on our SilberVerse page.

Care

It is best to wash the spoon by hand: warm water and a little mild dish soap are sufficient—you should avoid abrasive cleaners and silver dip baths on the enamel motif area. Dry it after washing so that no water spots remain; it does not belong in the dishwasher. The smooth silver surfaces of the handle can be refreshed if necessary with a soft silver polishing cloth, avoiding the enamel motif.
