Gorham King Edward

(Click To Enlarge)

This month’s featured crystal pattern is the very popular King Edward by Gorham. This beautiful crystal features simple lines, but done in a way that creates an intensely stylish look. The smooth, lead crystal surfaces are adorned with a series of crosshatched diamond cuts. The pieces feature multisided stems, a smooth cut that extends onto the base of each piece, and facets from the crosshatched cuts that add a special luster to any table on which these pieces are placed. Interestingly, Gorham has often named its patterns using specific royal monikers, like King Edward, without identifying or attributing the King Edward to which they are referring. In the past 1,000 years, England has been ruled by 8 "King Edwards!" So Gorham's King Edward pattern is a fitting tribute to the regal lifestyle of any of the storied monarchs of Europe.
