The sterling silver baby bowl is ideal to eat and enjoy their first breakfast or perhaps dinner or even a dessert. They are so versatile!

Decorated around the edge with a moon and stars motif, the bowl is a sensible size and depth to use during those early years.

A description of our manufacturing process is given by John Campbell. The cereal bowl is made the "spinning" method. This is a rather low tech and highly skilled way of producing round hollow objects in relatively small quantities. Firstly a solid male tool called a chuck is made and a disc (in this case silver) is wrapped over the chuck using a polished steel burnisher while it is spinning on a lathe. Lamp shades and cooking utensils are often made by this method.

At this stage the making process is paused while the item makes the journey to the London Assay Office where all the components are scrapped and tested to ensure they contain more than 92.5% silver. Providing a positive result is received from the laboratory the hallmark symbols are burnt into the surface of the silver using a laser.

Upon return to the silversmith's workshop the bowl is polished using an electric polishing lathe and 4 grades of compound until it is bright and all the blemishes removed. At this stage the moon and stars symbols are sand blasted around the rim of the bowl. It is finally repolished, cleaned and packed into the luxury green satin lined Over the Moon presentation boxes.

All the sterling silver collection is handmade from hallmarked sterling silver in England, at our Brentwood workshop - made up to a standard not down to a price.

The "Over the Moon" sterling silver baby gift collection consists of 10 items and has range of prices that will suit several members of the same family. Ideal to build a matching collection.
