Know before you buy
This goblet is not dishwasher safe. To maintain its finish, hand wash it with mild soap and warm water, then dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. Use a high-quality silver polish occasionally to remove any natural tarnish that develops over time.
While the sterling silver construction is durable, it is designed primarily for cold water or wine. Because silver is a highly conductive metal, the goblet will become very hot to the touch if filled with boiling or near-boiling liquids.
Yes, this piece is stamped with official Gorham Sterling hallmarks and the model number 272. These markings confirm its origin and serve as a record of its manufacturing history.
As this goblet is sourced from an estate collection, it carries a unique vintage character that reflects its history. While it is in excellent condition for its age, you may notice minor signs of use consistent with a pre-owned silver item.
Sterling silver is a relatively soft precious metal and can develop fine surface scratches over time with regular use. To minimize this, handle the goblet with care and store it in a soft cloth or a dedicated silver chest when not in use.
