Made in Rhode Island and Admired Around the Globe After a visit to the RISD Museum in Providence, you may never look at your own forks and spoons the same way again. The museum’s collection of fine tableware will make you pause to think how the simple act of eating led to designs that elevated the ordinary and inspired the extraordinary. The museum holds in its collection many particularly remarkable sterling silver pieces for the table made by Rhode Island’s Gorham Manufacturing Company.
