"Gorham Grey" Finish
The original "Gorham Grey Finish" is still in use, so pieces from this collection have a satin finish, congruent with original Gorham designs. This is not a factory error. With use and repeated hand-polishing the finish will gradually become shinier. On request, prior to purchase, we can professionally buff the item to a shinier state – this will make the items appear visually closer to older sets but will also make the item Final Sale and have an extended lead time.

Hollow Handle Pieces
Hollow handle is a term used to describe a standard method of flatware construction. These pieces have a sterling silver handle with an interior portion where a shafted piece is cemented secure — most knives and some large serving pieces use this construction method. Typically, the upper portion of the piece is made using 18/10 stainless steel or hardened steel if it is a knife blade.
