With curiosity, passion and humor, RICHARD goldsmiths has imagined "Welcome!", a collection that is the antithesis of mass-manufactured products and yet has the undeniable stamp of fine Arts and Crafts.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvyj_yut6xcgnaKRsUKpwj-a_rI1x6q4EYcfjor9BFGAhQvb1PeeYsMKL-o7MEQmh2mbsal0dKtBQg4iQFSP9Is4sp5iJEBxUGeM2AmlYP6665Az2k5kB7fcKqFJB6F_5aLOmyAWNXQKLL/s1600/web-atelierrichard-09.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652686597399112786" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvyj_yut6xcgnaKRsUKpwj-a_rI1x6q4EYcfjor9BFGAhQvb1PeeYsMKL-o7MEQmh2mbsal0dKtBQg4iQFSP9Is4sp5iJEBxUGeM2AmlYP6665Az2k5kB7fcKqFJB6F_5aLOmyAWNXQKLL/s400/web-atelierrichard-09.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 537px; height: 410px;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">above: silversmith at Richard forging the collection</span></span><br /><br />Born with a silver spoon in your mouth, or rather a service spoons in their hands. This collection of "birth spoons" was born of the encounter between real expertise and a desire to bring up to date that forgotten tradition of family ties at the time of arrival of the a child.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilPfN6hegmthwJSiAhmRn6F9ueqpWKPam9smoFfajFNy3m3UyHCN9Ex5OSlK4zkAOYJfOSAGSSS1jJiQ7XjpeHl3MIXnzR-FRYU39kaRmbbn6vznJGmwBo8YBFvJcB_PypwiMuVlS3kg2X/s1600/web-atelierrichard-02.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652687515657677522" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilPfN6hegmthwJSiAhmRn6F9ueqpWKPam9smoFfajFNy3m3UyHCN9Ex5OSlK4zkAOYJfOSAGSSS1jJiQ7XjpeHl3MIXnzR-FRYU39kaRmbbn6vznJGmwBo8YBFvJcB_PypwiMuVlS3kg2X/s400/web-atelierrichard-02.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 530px; height: 406px;" /></a><br /><br />Spoons were originally made of wood, they were then mostly made of tin. But in wealthy families, it was tradition that the sponsor offers his godson or goddaughter a sterling silver spoon at the time of his or her baptism. This object was thus a symbol ensuring prosperity for the child. The sponsor also offered a cup, a metaphor for money, with the first name and date of birth. These beliefs were widespread and many of us still have our baby cup, rattle and cutlery in a drawer.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6WlNlUPhsfxtnbdge9OmDt4tbGHrYqv259Xs3smd-WhJsTX97zBaAFSOPgeHo0ydF9iQo_pc3FN9uHE63KSrtdiVBtv6ou3XDB-DQwuBLGgsyU8Am0QuZsBJQTJXsSkX8f-9KHQG0ty20/s1600/web-atelierrichard-13.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652685592578313874" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6WlNlUPhsfxtnbdge9OmDt4tbGHrYqv259Xs3smd-WhJsTX97zBaAFSOPgeHo0ydF9iQo_pc3FN9uHE63KSrtdiVBtv6ou3XDB-DQwuBLGgsyU8Am0QuZsBJQTJXsSkX8f-9KHQG0ty20/s400/web-atelierrichard-13.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 527px; height: 404px;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">above: the egg cup under construction</span></span><br /><br />Today, the act of giving birth or baby gifts is still practiced, but the spoon, the object of life par excellence seems to have gone by the wayside. It is by diverting the archetype of the spoon, using it as raw material, that RICHARD and 5.5 have designed a collection that revisits the classic gifts of birth.<br /><br />Below are all the pieces in the collection followed by images of the crafting of these items.<br /><br />The curved spoon functions as both a napkin holder, a place to store the bib or as a teething ring:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZj9MB78sioKlaWlUW-jR6-wHsO5b2dIBkzDiBIvrEKb35m9oJPte_aL9etwxbJV_9i7IzdJ38rTOjQl7CpDHIk84z7rXrVt2c3m6LP5y6Q-FWVmNx0POStIjmpoFZPkkP8aFpwRPad54T/s1600/web-rond-de-serviette-richard.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652681941672804018" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZj9MB78sioKlaWlUW-jR6-wHsO5b2dIBkzDiBIvrEKb35m9oJPte_aL9etwxbJV_9i7IzdJ38rTOjQl7CpDHIk84z7rXrVt2c3m6LP5y6Q-FWVmNx0POStIjmpoFZPkkP8aFpwRPad54T/s400/web-rond-de-serviette-richard.jpg" style="cursor: pointer;
