Vintage Gorham Althea Crystal Apple Dish with Lid

Beautiful things deserve to be part of everyday life.

This vintage Gorham lead crystal apple dish was made in West Germany in the discontinued Althea pattern. Its cut crystal surface catches the light beautifully, while the apple shape gives it a little charm.

Why You’ll Love It

There’s something especially appealing about a beautiful object that's also useful. This covered apple gives jewelry, wrapped candies, keepsakes, or other small things a home of their own while adding sparkle to wherever it sits.

The clear crystal makes it easy to mix with other pieces. It feels at home with vintage glass and silver, but can just as easily sit on a modern vanity, desk, kitchen shelf, or bedside table.

Styling & Use

Use it for wrapped candies, jewelry, keepsakes, or other small treasures. On a vanity, it makes a lovely place for rings and earrings; on a desk or bedside table, it can hold the little things that otherwise tend to wander.

It’s also beautiful displayed empty on a shelf, console, bar cabinet, or kitchen counter where the cut crystal can catch the light.

Condition

Very good vintage condition. A few tiny flea-bite-sized nicks are present along the lid. They are difficult to notice during normal display and do not affect the beauty or functionality of the piece. Please review the close-up photographs for condition details.
