What does the “GS CLB” mark mean?
The Gorham Classic Bouquet Sterling pattern, introduced in 1972 and produced through 1991, blends the clean lines of modern design with a touch of floral ornamentation. The handle features a smooth, tapered silhouette framed by a soft border, ending in a rounded tip. At the upper portion of the handle sits a delicate cluster of stylized blossoms—the “bouquet” that gives the pattern its name—adding personality without overwhelming the overall simplicity. Crafted in solid sterling silver, Classic Bouquet offers a comfortable balance between traditional decorative motifs and contemporary restraint. Its polished surfaces, gentle floral detail, and practical proportions make it appealing for both everyday dining and more formal table settings. Collectors value it for its approachable elegance and Gorham’s reliable craftsmanship during the 1970s–1990s era.
