Buttercup Sterling Silver Flatware by Gorham
What is .925 Sterling Silver?
The Short Answer:
Sterling silver consists of at least 92.5 percent silver and 7.5% percent of other metals like copper, nickel, or both. The reason for this is Pure Silver or Fine Silver, is very soft and very malleable making it easy to damage or bend. Other metal alloys like copper or nickel are added to the silver to make a more durable piece.
All items sold by Silver Superstore as “Sterling Silver” contain at least 92.5% percent Silver and are stamped with either “.925”, “Sterling Silver”, or both.

What does " w/stamp " mean?
As of April 2022, Fortessa is no longer stamping their logo in their flatware pieces. We do have some stock left of the stamped versions. If you are looking to match your older, stamped, pieces you will want to select the pieces denoted with “w/stamp”.

Transform steak dinners into a true fine dining experience with the exquisitely crafted Buttercup sterling silver hollow handle Steak Knife from Gorham. Designed to pair striking ornamental beauty with exceptional cutting performance, this sophisticated steak knife features the legendary Buttercup pattern — an iconic Gorham design introduced in 1899 and treasured for its lavish floral engraving, flowing vine motifs, and romantic old-world character.
Unlike traditional dinner knives, this individual steak knife is specifically engineered for cutting meats with ease while maintaining an elevated, formal presentation at the table. The sharp stainless steel blade glides cleanly through steaks, chops, and grilled entrées, while the genuine sterling silver hollow handle provides a luxurious feel without excessive weight. The result is a beautifully balanced knife that feels agile, refined, and comfortable in hand during extended dining occasions.
The Buttercup handle is richly adorned with sculpted blossoms and trailing botanical details that create dramatic texture and visual depth across the sterling silver surface. Light catches the polished engraving from every angle, giving the piece a radiant presence that instantly elevates both traditional place settings and upscale entertaining. The contrast between the ornate sterling handle and sleek stainless blade creates a striking blend of antique artistry and modern dining functionality.
