Gorham unusual shaped bon bon dish model 336

One would expect something out of the ordinary from Gorham, and indeed our piece is no square. It has two acute and two obtuse angles, making the corner to corner dimensions 6 5/8 and 7 1/2 inches. This along with some superb Philadelphia style brite cut engraving make for a rather unusual item. Weight 4.7 oz Troy, date letter J for 1877, fine condition, stylized monogram in center.
