The biggest spoons I've made - 26 cm long (over 10" in old money) and weighing over three ounces each. These salad servers have an embossed pattern on the spoon stem made by rolling fibreglass matting onto the handle. They are a mixture of bright polish, texture and satin finish. |

A silver Christening spoon is always a popular gift. Some people prefer to have them engraved with the child's full name or just the initials. This set is for a family of three who were christened on the same day.
Where I make the spoons in the same year, they can have the date stamp of the year of birth. Late December births can be a problem and I had to make a spoon with a long handle for my second great-nephew William Anthony Huddleston! I used the bowl of his sister's Christening spoon for the hallmarks for 2006 (the year of her birth) with hername engraved along the stem.
An alternative for a Christening gift for a girl is a cross or a bracelet or bangle engraved with her name or initials.
