A nice showing of quality for which Gorham Sterling is known. The detail is crisp, t are no dents, or unwarranted marks, only a slight showing of wear to the interior bottom of the dish. I have not cleaned this piece. The "patina" is exactly as purchased at auction. I also could not get the auction number off the bottom of the piece which appears in my photograph without a thorough soft polishing which I have not done.
