What does the “GS CALA” mark mean?
The Gorham Calais Silverplate pattern, introduced in 1988 and made through 2003, presents a refined, traditional look with a light decorative touch. Its handle is shaped with a gentle taper and a softly rounded end, framed by an elegant raised border. A small floral or leaf-like accent near the handle’s tip adds character without overwhelming the design, making Calais feel both classic and approachable. The silverplated finish gives the pattern a bright, polished appearance ideal for everyday dining as well as more formal occasions. Calais remains appreciated for its balance of subtle ornamentation, comfortable proportions, and enduring Gorham quality.
