Christening Spoon and Traditions
Christening spoon is a very traditional and popular christening gift from a child's godparents. According to tradition, the spoon is given by the children's godparents, who has the privilege to buy and engrave the spoon as a gift for the child. The tradition of christening spoons was already known in Finland in the 17th century, and at that time a spoon was a very necessary gift, as it was taken on trips. Silver was also a good investment.
According to the old custom, the godparents are obliged to give the godchild a spoon on each of the child's birthdays, until there were 6-12 spoons. Today, this is less common and it is common for godparents to buy a spoon as a gift for the child on the day of baptism, respecting the traditions.
The christening spoon is associated with strong traditions and is strongly associated with christening gifts and christenings. While the christening spoon used to be a necessary and practical gift for a newborn, today it is a more meaningful memory of birth and the moment of baptism or naming day.

Cleaning and polishing a Silver Christening Spoon
Today, the silver spoon rarely ends up in active use, but even if the spoon is not used, silver darkens over time. However, cleaning a silver rubber spoon is easy at home and by cleaning it you can get it almost like new. Dirt comes off the silver surface with running water, but for darker and more difficult dirt stains, you should use tools and substances intended for silver cleaning. The same recommendations apply to cleaning silver spoons and other silver cutlery as to cleaning silver jewelry.
In the case of small discolorations, it is recommended to use a cloth intended for silver cleaning when cleaning the silver rubber spoon. By rubbing the silver surface with a silver cleaning cloth, excess staining can be removed and at the same time the surface becomes shiny. If discoloration has accumulated in difficult crevices, you can use different foaming pastes or cleaning solutions intended for silver cleaning. These can be used to remove discoloration even in more difficult places. When using cloths and cleaning agents intended for silver cleaning, the tarnishing of the silver is also slowed down. When cleaning silver spoons, it is also important to remember to dry the surface carefully after cleaning.
