84-pc Gorham Hallmarked Sterling Silver "Buttercup" Dinner Flatware Completer Set with place settings for 12 and place settings for 11 - "Patent 1900". Asparagus serving fork ; ice cream forks ; bouillon soup spoons ; orange/fruit spoons ; plus other interesting sterling eating utensils.
The above captures basic details of the rare find of, what appears to be lightly used and highly collectible sterling silver dinner flatware. This set is likely most suited for the more formal multi-course dinner menu. Most suited because the individual pieces in this lot are not the 4-5 pieces basic to a place setting (typically a fork, knife, teaspoon, salad/dessert fork, soup spoon) but instead, are additional pieces for use in a full(er) multi-course and/or formal meal. Hence the reference "completer set".
The 84 piece set includes several serving pieces along with several place settings for 12 and several place settings for 11 . Many of these items are unusual and/or food specific. Twelve (12) individually distinct utensils from Gorham's "Buttercup" pattern makeup the set and all weigh approximately 2480 grams or 5.5 lbs.
The "Butttercup" pattern is a very popular sterling flatware pattern.
