Timeless American elegance. A pattern that has graced tables for over a century.
We are pleased to present this elegant set of two sterling silver modern knives with hollow handles in Gorham Manufacturing Company’s iconic Buttercup pattern, fitted with stainless steel blades for everyday functionality and durability.
Introduced in 1899, the Buttercup pattern remains one of the most beloved and enduring designs in American silver. It is admired for its finely detailed floral motifs and graceful flowing foliage — an exquisite reflection of late Victorian artistry and timeless craftsmanship. The softly sculpted buttercup blossoms and scrolling leaves create depth, romance, and refined presence at the table.
Whether added to an existing Buttercup service or used as accent pieces within a mixed sterling setting, these knives embody understated luxury and heirloom quality.
