Know before you buy
Yes, the cut crystal liner is fully removable. This design allows you to easily empty melted ice or wash the liner separately from the sterling silver exterior.
The combination of the sterling silver exterior and the crystal liner creates a double-walled effect, which provides superior insulation to keep your ice frozen longer than a single-walled vessel.
To preserve the polished finish, use a high-quality silver polish specifically formulated for sterling silver. Always use a soft, lint-free cloth and avoid abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the metal.
This piece is designed for indoor use. Due to the delicate nature of the early 20th-century craftsmanship and the sterling silver material, it is best suited for controlled, indoor tabletop environments.
You can verify the piece by checking the base for the official Gorham silver hallmarks and the specific model number 'A7368'. These markings confirm its origin and production by the Gorham Manufacturing Company.
