What does the “GS FIOW” mark mean?
The Gorham Fish Out of Water Stainless pattern, produced from 2005 to 2007, is a playful and contemporary flatware design that stands out in Gorham’s early-2000s catalog. The handle features a clean, modern silhouette with smooth contours, but its signature detail is the stylized fish motif near the tip—simple, graphic, and unmistakably whimsical. This lighthearted element gives the pattern personality while keeping the overall form functional and comfortable in hand. Crafted in stainless steel, the pattern is durable and easy to maintain, making it ideal for casual dining and everyday family use. Fish Out of Water appeals to those who appreciate modern minimalism but also enjoy tableware with a touch of humor and character.
