Beautifully crafted with good heft these silverplated pieces were made to last. No longer made, these will be passed along for generations to use.  My mother used this tray at formal dinner parties to present grand gumbo dishes.  Pretty and useful!

View our multiple pictures to judge the quite nice condition.  All items being sold by us have been used, but these very high-end, older, Gorham silverplated items were made to last for generations.  All this was stored away and next owner will get to polish 'em up more or have professionally polished if desired.  They come from a silver collection that I just pulled out of storage in the attic amassed by my mother & grandmother.  THE LAST TWO PICTURES SHOW MORE THAT WE ARE LISTING ON eBAY - ONLY THE CREAM PITCHER AND HANDLED SUGAR BOWL ARE LISTED IN THIS LOT.
NOTHING IN THIS COLLECTION HAS MONOGRAM or any other personalization.
