Description
What an amazing gift for the new arrival! A gift of a sterling silver spoon for a baby has been traditional for several hundred years. Sterling spoons were often one of the most valuable assets of a family and giving one as a gift was seen as an investment in the child’s future.
Beyond the value and tradition of the spoon mother will be glad to know that sterling silver is a safe and healthy choice for feeding baby because silver is naturally antimicrobial.
Each sterling silver baby spoon is handmade in our Nashville, TN studio by Ben Caldwell. The bowl of the spoon is planished (hammered) to form the curved shape and the vine handle gives an older baby learning to feed himself an easy way to hold onto the spoon.

In his own words:
“I love forming metal. Copper feels like a suspended liquid as I’m working it, as if it’s flowing & wants to work with me to take on whatever shape I envision. The natural world & its incomparable beauty are one of my main sources of inspiration. After hiking the Appalachian Trail, my love of nature became a central focus in my art. Sometimes I begin with the classical proportions & forms of the historic American silver that surrounded me growing up, other pieces begin with an idea rather than a fully formed picture & I feel it out as I work the metal. This allows, opportunities to arise that I didn’t anticipate; serendipity takes over, leading me on an exciting, unplanned journey. I use traditional metalsmithing techniques including hammering, raising, & chasing by hand with traditional tools, but also tools of my own design. All of my materials, the purest available copper, silver & naturally-shed antler, are sourced in the USA to create each one-of-a kind piece in my Nashville studio.”
Many of the pieces here are available in both copper and silver. View more of our beautiful serving pieces on our website, or contact us with any questions you may have.
