What customers say
Customers deeply value the Gorham 'Winter Blossom' pattern for its exquisite beauty and timeless elegance. The design, featuring subtle blue, silver, or platinum accents, creates a sophisticated winter aesthetic. Reviewers consistently praise the high quality and craftsmanship, noting the pieces maintain their appeal across decades, making them cherished heirlooms. This pattern successfully elevates holiday tablescapes, adding a special touch to family gatherings.

Know before you buy
No, the Winter Blossom collection is not microwave or dishwasher safe. Due to the delicate platinum trim and the nature of this vintage porcelain, we recommend hand washing all pieces to preserve their finish.
The round vegetable bowl measures 8 inches in diameter, while the bread and butter plates measure 6 5/8 inches.
Because this is a vintage collection, handle the porcelain with care to avoid chipping. Avoid stacking them directly on top of one another without protective padding to prevent scratching the platinum trim.
Platinum is generally resistant to tarnishing, but it can be sensitive to abrasive cleaners or harsh detergents. Always use a mild soap and a soft cloth when cleaning to maintain the luster of the trim.
While durable, this set is best suited for special occasions or formal dining rather than heavy daily use. Its status as a discontinued collectible means that replacing individual pieces can be challenging.
