Know before you buy
Each set includes a dinner plate, a salad plate, a bread and butter plate, a teacup, and a matching saucer.
Because this pattern features delicate gold trim, it is not recommended for dishwasher use. Hand washing is the best way to preserve the metallic finish and prevent fading over time.
No, the Grand Manor Gold pattern was officially discontinued by Gorham in 2006. It is now considered a collector's item, making it a great choice for those looking to complete an existing set or add a vintage touch to their table.
The design is classic and formal, defined by a distinct fluted rim and sophisticated gold accents. It offers a timeless, coordinated look that works well for traditional dining rooms and special occasions.
While the china is durable, the gold trim requires careful handling to avoid scratching or wear. It is best reserved for formal dinners and special gatherings rather than daily, high-traffic use.
