What does the “GS VALC” mark mean?

The Gorham Valcourt Silverplate pattern, introduced in 1988 and produced through 2007, is a contemporary design that blends clean modern lines with a touch of traditional shaping. The handle features a gentle taper and a softly rounded tip, framed by a smooth border that adds definition without heavy ornamentation. Subtle curves and a balanced silhouette give the pattern a versatile, polished appearance suitable for everyday use as well as casual entertaining.
