Special order.
The rattle spoon is a gift from the tooth fairy.
Long ago, when the star of Bethlehem shone in the sky, the Three Wise Men came to a baby with a bow and gave him gifts. Perhaps that was the origin of the tradition to present a precious gift to an infant in honor of his first important occasion. In the Ancient East, it could be a gift of gold, while the gifts of Slavs were and are of silver.
Little silver spoon is traditionally presented "at first tooth"; in former times, this tradition was continued – they presented a dessertspoon to gymnasia student on the first day of his study, and they presented him a tablespoon on the graduation day.
A rattle spoon is the first gift, a surprise for the smallest one. The spoon is made of silver and gold. Its simple antique forms will be relevant at the time when the tooth fairy will be a fairy tale and children's memory again. A pattern on the handle is concise and refined at the same time; moreover, a tiny beanbag today entertains, and sometime in the future it will remind the one about the warm and precious moments of the childhood.
