The Gorham Manufacturing Company is one of America’s largest manufacturers of silver-plate and sterling pieces, additionally with a foundry for bronze sculpture. Gorham got its start in 1831 with Jabez Gorham in partnership with Henry Webster. The two founded the silver company in Gorham’s hometown of Providence, Rhode Island. Their beginning was once a manufacturer of coin-silver flatware, in which Gorham started to gain acclaim, especially in 1859, when the flatware was selected by Mary Todd Lincoln for the White House. Hence, in 1863, Gorham was a major player in plated silver. In 1868, they made the switch from coin silver to sterling silver and produced everything from knives, forks, and spoons, to other desired pieces such as coffee pots and serving bowls.
This Gorham Buttercup Pattern Flatware Set is unquestionably perfect for any vintage collection!
