Gorham's first iteration of what eventually evolved into three, four counting "King George," interpretations of this standard English design, "Kings I" was issued in 1876.
The pattern incorporates traditional elements such as shell and honeysuckle, and embellishes them with rosettes and an acanthus leaf pendant.
This example is a generously sized 7 1/2" long, 2.1 T. oz., gravy ladle.
The bowl is particularly decorative (see enlargement two for detail). It has a wide, curved, rim with a coffered wall interior that is finished in a satin matte, finely bright cut, gold surface.
The handle front has a feathered, leaf script, "AEH" monogram.
In outstanding condition, this is without wear or damage. The bowl is free of dents, bends, or burrs, and the overall finish is lustrous.
Marks are Gorham's "lion, anchor, G" emblem, "Sterling," "Patent 1876," and "2."
