Why silver spoons?
Silver spoons make ideal gifts and are traditionally given as wedding anniversary gifts, christening gifts or as souvenirs. Silver spoons are rich in meaning and history and we want to revive the tradition of giving and collecting silver spoons. By combining traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design we make valuable and unique spoons at reasonable prices so that more people can own these precious possessions. Spoons are designed for serving food and this association with life giving and sharing led to the spoon symbolising a new beginning: a new life, a change or a significant event. From the 1500’s spoons were given as Christening gifts. Kept for life, they were seen as precious items with great sentimental value. In some cultures spoons formed part of marriage ceremonies. There are also some examples of spoons made for funerals to symbolise life after death.
