Item Details
Description
This fruit stand is a magnificent piece of Gorham Manufacturing Company's Japanese Aesthetic Movement silver. Made in sterling silver and date marked by Gorham with the letter "E" which represents the year 1872. The "handles" to the fruit stand are full figural bee catcher birds alight on a branch. Each bird is approximately four and a half inches long from head to tip of the tail. Around the "bowl" of this tazza/fruit stand is a dye rolled border of an Asian landscape, the pattern does repeat. Just above the feet of the stand is another dye rolled border with Japanese words of good luck and fortune. The stand has four legs and each leg has a different Japanese motif on it, a flower, a fan a bird and an insect (butterfly). The overall height of the stand is approximately seven and a half inches tall to the top of the bee catcher's head. Measuring across the top of the birds, the fruit stand is approximately twelve inches wide. The stand is marked with the word "sterling" and the Gorham "lion anchor G" logo, as well as the number "1005" and the date letter "E". The center of the bowl does have a single initial letter "C" engraved in it. No other monograms or engravings are on the piece. For being 140 years old, it is in spectacular condition.
