Each goblet has a rounded bowl with a flat base, wrapped at the bottom in delicate leaf-shaped cut motifs. A finely detailed faceted stem, style #1110, leads down to a faceted knop near the foot, which works like a small jeweled prism and throws light in every direction. All three are in the same excellent condition.
Lined up in a soft row on a sideboard, the three goblets pick up lamplight in the leaf cuts around each bowl. They would be lovely on a dinner table set for company. Enjoyed by anyone who likes fine detail in their glassware, sought by collectors of Gorham Crystal, and a thoughtful gift for a host who sets a beautiful table.
Gorham traces its beginnings to 1831 in Providence, Rhode Island, where Jabez Gorham’s firm joined with Henry L. Webster as Gorham & Webster, and it grew into one of the largest American makers of sterling silver. Best known for silver, the company also put its name to crystal stemware, and Monticello was part of that line. Textron bought Gorham in 1967, and Monticello followed in 1969. Replacements, Ltd. lists the pattern as discontinued, with production ending in 1974, a run of only about five years. A set of three in pristine condition is a good find for anyone looking for Gorham Crystal from this era.
