Delta Bowl in Sterling and Ebony by Donald Colflesh for Gorham, circa 1970
About the Item
Spectacular "circa 1970 Delta Bowl" in sterling and ebony by Donald Colflesh for Gorham, circa 1960s. This rare piece is gorgeous and in very good vintage condition. Signed with impressed manufacturer's mark to underside: "Gorham Sterling 1457" with touchmarks.
In 1956 Gorham Manufacturing Company, the country’s leading maker and retailer of fashionable silver, recruited Donald Colflesh to bring a “contemporary dimension” to its traditional products. Colflesh’s most popular and successful design for the firm was the circa 1970 series, in which he brilliantly captured America’s ambition to go the moon. With this bowl / centerpiece, the intersecting angles epitomize the era of space-age design. Gorham reinforced the lines space-age associations in accompanying pamphlets, noting its “feeling of vertical motion … the upward look to space.” The company’s name for the line, circa 1970, also confidently alludes to the future and its possibilities. The sleek contours and elongated ebony legs however, were exceptional for mid-century hollowware and recall similar embellishments on early 20th century Scandinavian silver.
