Gorham - Paris "Look Alike"

Post by Daddy1947 »

I am trying to identify this pattern.
It is very similar to Gorham Paris.

:::: When you look at the hallmark, are there additional symbols around the hallmark? ::::
::::::: Could this be a spoon from the Paris Exposition of 1900? ::::

Thank you both for your efforts.

I did a bit more searching and found a number of additional photos of this spoon.
Apparently it is a large serving spoon with a gold wash bowl.
It is Gorham and shows a patent date of 1901 - the same as Paris.

:::: A discussion about this pattern exists on an obsolete flatware forum and it's possible that the Gorham hallmarks are associated with a Canadian division of Gorham & possible French Canadian connections are discussed as well. :::: The example on that forum appears to be a berry spoon. ::::

Sorry, I'm confused by the apparent availability of only partial images and the belief that this is anything other than one of many variants in Gorham's multi-motif 'Paris' pattern - from what can be seen of the marks, they are typical of Gorham and the marks expected on this pattern. A quick online search finds handles with the 'Genovepha' (Saint Genevieve) motif on large pieces like the fish slice & fork, crumber, and most commonly on a 9" serving spoon.
