According to Larry Pristo in Martele: Gorham's Art Nouveau Silver, 2002, this "fern dish" was made by Alexander MacBeth and chased by David Wilmot for a net cost of $240. According to researcher Sam Hough, Wilmot was regarded for a long period as Gorham's most talented chaser, evidenced by his salary, which was only surpassed by that of the factory foreman. Wilmot worked for Gorham for nearly 50 years.
