Superb Gorham Silver 10 MATCHING SET of GORHAM SILVER HANDLED PORRINGER or DESSERT CUPS FineThings4sale - Older High Quality Gorham Silverplate.
Our family used these for puddings and such on special dinner party tables.  CIRCA 1930'S GORHAM SILVER -
hallmarked "Gorham" see picture posted these have a beautiful clean simple design - great looking with just about any china or silver pattern you might have.   This great set goes out to you
polished and will only need to be post shipment cleaned/polished.
Highest quality old silverplate item, not able to find now, it is super heavy (thick edge with really great chasing work) - SEE OUR OTHER LISTINGS FOR MORE GORHAM STERLING AND CHANTILLY ETC. look at the fine details.  Seldom used this shows the minimal use, no under metal bleeding, dings or nasty scratches.  Expect typical surface use evidence.  This was a well-cared for item rarely used.
Never engraved or monogrammed.  NICE!
Classic pattern / style will work with just about any silver flatware / china / glassware pattern - from colonial Gorham Fairfax, to fancier Cinderella, King Albert, classic Etruscan, simple Dolly Madison, grand Francis I, English Gadroon to Old Master --- all and more can be paired with this classic vintage Gallery Tray.  Collector's item, yet eminently appropriate for contemporary use.  Silver = dramatic eloquence, poetry of motion and rhythm of detail, grace and diginty distinguish the work of fine silversmithing.
Silver is one of our longest-lived of all household possessions, often bequeathed, often inherited, good quality design.  Heritage.  A gift remembered for a lifetime.  Silver = beauty, comfort in the hand, and utility for the host or hostess.  Fine authenticity of design, craftmanship worthy of a house with generations of traditions.  Most admired and sought after design.  Traditional yet ready for modern homes.  The feeling of antiquity distinguishes silver, yet authoritative and honest in design.  Silver is the genuine look for gracious old world style in a modern home.  Every skillful hostess who know the "elusiveness of the right touch" realizes the value, the importance of silver on the table.  The statement is always sterling when you have polished silver in use!
An investment in good taste for generations.
