We have always been fond of Gorham's first high style designs, especially those in the manner of Mary Todd Lincoln's tea service.

This unusual combination of etched and applied decoration lends the piece a three-dimensional quality which is quite successful, artistically.

Is this the cheapest example on the entire Internet? No, it is not!! There's a sad, tired looking one on ebay which you can pick up for a bit less, but doesn't your collection deserve the best??

Sadly, back in 1890 or so, "Mother" decided that she didn't want the giftees to know the identity of the original owner, and had their monogram wiped out. If you can live with this, then here's an opportunity to own a sturdy and useful piece of this desirable Gorham pattern at an attractive price.

Over the years, I've examined many pieces of Martelé, and if you dear reader will forgive me for a bit of crudeness, most of them are "trashed." Specifically, the detail is severely worn away, leaving the beauty of the overall design still appreciable but no longer intact.
Why? Because Gorham made a bit of a bargain with the devil, and used .950 or .9584 silver to make...

Even without the exquisitely engraved blade this would have been a rare find, so we're doubly pleased. Note: although this server is hollow handled, we do not believe it to be weighted.
