Originally introduced in 1956, this design brilliantly captures the optimism of the early atomic era with clean, upward-sweeping minimalist branches and stylized starburst/floral motifs engraved around the domed bases.
The defining modernist accents are the sleek, dark finials nesting between the candle arms, offering a stunning graphic contrast against the brilliant polished sterling surfaces. Structurally sound and beautifully weighted, the undersides are officially stamped: GORHAM STERLING, CEMENT FILLED, REINFORCED WITH ROD OF OTHER METAL, 1335.
Whether anchoring a minimalist credenza or setting a dramatic mood for an intimate dinner party, these rare hollowware specimens function beautifully as standalone sculpture or active tableware.
