[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 25623, member: 111"]Birks bought Gorham's Canadian division in 1907, so it may well be a Gorham design. As mentioned, similar dishes might appear in other catalogs as nut (or almond) dishes, and they may have been sold at some point in sets for use as individual nut dishes, but a 1911 Birks catalog refers to them as 'Small Pierced Bonbon Dishes' - the souvenir 'Bonbon Spoon' appears in their 1905 catalog. ~Cheryl [ATTACH=full]6397[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]6398[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
