Since no one comes to my boring curatorial forum, I'm posting a great Gorham object that we acquired in 2002 for The Newark Museum. I've seen the classic, lovely Gorham Turkish-coffee pots, in silver and in copper with silver mounts, but I've never seen the likes of this anywhere else. The torque of the body, and the pristine finish of the piece (which looks like it was never used) make it very sexy. The date letter for 1881 is on the bottom, and the additional letter places it in the now-missing "specials" book. Other Gorham Islamic material out there? IP: Logged |

Ulysses, I for one am delighted that you are posting thes sumptuous items for us to enjoy. It is interesting that during this Aesthetic period folk were decorating with a great variety of styles borrowed from several periods. I love the way the top of the handle wraps around the neck of the pitcher. Thanks for the eye candy, IP: Logged |

Good day! It is a stunning piece & a feast for the eyes. BTW do you have a list of "wants" for the museum, and can you share them with us. There may be some people out there who might want to donate? Jersey IP: Logged |

Since you asked... "Want lists" are something every curator has. I'll post one in my own [boring] forum, since it is a museum issue (actually ALL want things, but that's not for HERE)... IP: Logged |

Ulysses, Do you remember what the model number is on this piece? I've found these special order pieces very interesting as I also have a piece in my collection with the special order model number on it. IP: Logged |
