Product Details Brand: Gorham Collection: King Edward Material: Full‑lead crystal with brilliant clarity Included: One 4-inch covered sugar bowl (with matching crystal lid) + one 4 oz cream pitcher Item Number: C455 Care: Hand wash only Design & Identification The King Edward line is known for its elegant cut‑glass styling , featuring geometric facets that catch and scatter light beautifully. Both pieces have Gorham’s signature abstract, gently rounded silhouette with comfortable handles and a satisfying weight in the hand. The sugar bowl includes its original matching lid — a detail often lost over time — making this set especially desirable. This collection was originally produced by Gorham in Providence, Rhode Island , during a period when the company collaborated with European glassmakers to achieve exceptional clarity and brilliance in their full‑lead crystal offerings. A Bit of History The King Edward Collection was part of Gorham’s push into premium crystal during the late 20th century, when formal dining and elegant home décor were experiencing a resurgence. These sets were frequently chosen as wedding gifts , displayed in china cabinets, or brought out for holiday gatherings — symbols of hospitality and refinement. Collectors often recall seeing Gorham crystal showcased in department stores like Macy’s, Dillard’s, and Belk , where boxed sets like this one were marketed as “forever gifts.” Today, finding a complete, undamaged set with its original box is increasingly uncommon. Condition This set has been carefully inspected and is in excellent vintage condition : Crystal is clear, brilliant, and free of chips or cracks Sugar bowl lid fits perfectly Box shows light shelf wear appropriate for age but remains structurally sound Why This Set Stands Out Full‑lead crystal for maximum sparkle Complete set with original matching lid Highly collectible King Edward pattern Original box adds authenticity and gift‑ready presentation Perfect for display, tea service, coffee bars, or vintage décor Shipping Your set will be packed with extreme care — double‑boxed, cushioned, and protected to ensure safe arrival.
