Gorham Buttercup Sterling Silverware
The Gorham Buttercup Sterling Silverware is a classic and timeless pattern that has been popular for over a century. First introduced in 1899, it continues to be a favorite among silverware collectors and homeowners alike. What sets the Gorham Buttercup apart from other patterns is its intricate and elegant design. The handles of each piece are adorned with delicate flowers, giving them a feminine and romantic touch. This attention to detail is what makes the Buttercup pattern stand out.
One important thing to note about this silverware set is that it has a matte/satin finish. This means that it has a soft, non-reflective surface, giving it a more subdued and sophisticated look compared to other shiny silverware patterns. Interestingly, Gorham applies a tarnish at the factory on each Buttercup piece. This tarnish actually helps highlight the intricate flower design on the handles, making them stand out even more. To maintain its unique finish, it is recommended to use a standard silver polish instead of a silver dip, which can be harsh and potentially damage the delicate design. It's no wonder that the Buttercup pattern has stood the test of time and remains a beloved choice for formal dining occasions.
