Gourmates by Glo-Hill

Overview

Fish carver / serving knife in original box

Historical information

Founded in Montreal in 1945, the Glo Hill Company was the creation of brothers-in-law Jack Globus and Harry Hill.
Jack’s brothers, Leo and Saul, joined the company shortly after its creation. The Globus brothers along with Harry Hill began developing Glo Hill’s brand which quickly became common place in high end retail outlets. What started with picture frames and cutlery items, soon developed into chrome holloware pieces used in home entertaining. Serving pieces (some of which were tiered) along with other kitchen items were labelled as "Gourmates by Glo Hill".
