I thought I'd start a new thread for this one. This is one of my better pieces, it's in MINT condition!   Initially I called it "Lady's" pattern, but I've also seen it called "Olive Branch" Definitely one of Gorham's unusual patterns! IP: Logged |

Seem to recall that 'Lady's' has the hand at the base of the stem, 'Olive Branch' at the terminal... ~Cheryl IP: Logged |

That is excellent! I don't remember if I've ever posted my Lady's tongs (no olive branch): IP: Logged |

those are amazing and, if I may, a little creepy! But in a good way. Something about the realistic attitude of the disembodied hands... I'm so looking forward to tucking into a good book about Gorham to see all these weird and wonderful patterns and pieces. I wonder if there is a Gorham museum. Off to [internet search]! IP: Logged |

teasetz, The Rhode Island School of Design, (RISD) has some great Gorham in their collection that is on their website. I highly recommend you check that out! IP: Logged |

Many thanks for the links. If I get to Providence this summer I'll check out the RISD collection. My best friend went to architecture school there. If I'd known then.... IP: Logged |

They actually have the silver on their website. You can look anytime! And somewhere on their site, they have a few pictures and a write-up on Naragansett, I highly recommend you find that page, the pictures are really clear! IP: Logged |
