Medallion by Gorham

Medallion was introduced in 1864 by Gorham.  This is a fairly simple design with the head of a Trojan soldier in silhouette encircled like a medallion with a design above it on the terminal. A simple stem with a floret in the middle leads to the shoulder. And the shoulder is just three lines that open to the bowl.
