What does the “KISGOOME” mark mean?

The Stieff Golden Old Maryland Engraved Sterling pattern stands as one of the most beloved and enduring examples of Stieff’s homage to early American design. Crafted in solid sterling silver, this pattern reinterprets the company’s famed “Old Maryland Engraved” motif with the addition of a warm golden finish, giving new radiance to a classic colonial-inspired design. Featuring hand-engraved scrollwork and floral ornamentation, the pattern embodies 18th- and 19th-century Maryland elegance — the region where Stieff’s silversmithing roots flourished. The “Golden” version adds a distinctive glow that accentuates the engraving’s depth, creating a refined interplay of light and texture. Each piece was carefully finished to evoke both heritage sophistication and modern luxury, blending traditional craftsmanship with decorative innovation. The Golden Old Maryland Engraved pattern remains a symbol of American silver artistry, representing Stieff’s mastery in marrying historical form with contemporary refinement.
