Note du spécialiste

Gorham's Martele archives, as reproduced by Larry Pristo in Martele 950-1000 Gorham's Nouveau Art Silver, 2002, p. 189, records that Vase 1836 was one of two vases exhibited at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris. A similar smaller vase, 1837, featured gilding and slightly differing decoration. Vase 1836 was completed on 23 December 1899 with a price of $300. It was raised in 35 hours and chased for 180 hours by William Gray.
