Pair of Art Deco silver-plated jugs with lid for breakfast; they were suitable for tea, coffee, milk, etc., the truncated cone shape and the body completely smooth, give them a sober and very elegant look; on the lid are engraved delicate initials, certainly those of the owner; both the spout and the lid integrate harmoniously with the whole; but the real originality of the two objects are the handles: they have been perfectly and masterfully covered with raffia threads, a touch of refinement in addition, which also avoids overheating. Raffia is a strong fiber that is obtained from the leaves of a tropical plant; it is ecru in color with shades of straw yellow, it has a very strong consistency but not rough; raffia is a plant and should not be confused with straw, which is the result of the grain stems and therefore a waste of threshing. The two jugs bear the marks of the Gorham Company on the bottom, and the small clover-shaped mark indicates with certainty that they were made in 1913. The Gorham Manufacturing Company was founded in the United States in Providence (Rhode Island) in 1831; it was undoubtedly the most important and largest silverware factory in the USA; it was the first, in 1837, to adopt a rational system of industrial production without upsetting the artisan workforce; in 1863 he started to produce excellent silver-plated products that had the same constructive and qualitative characteristics of the silver ones; he adopted from the beginning a particular and precise punching system on the English model; in 1859 he produced an exceptional silver set for the First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln; Gorham is remembered for its refined and always innovative design, for the excellent and superior quality of all its products; in 1967 Texon (a group of industrial companies in Providence) bought Gorham, unfortunately since that event, the quality of production declined rapidly.
