Dorothy Thorpe Trumpet Toating Glasses

Marvelous mid-century modern elegance and enjoyment are inevitable with these rare Dorothy Thorpe treasures! This sophisticated set of 4 cocktail/wine/toasting glasses feature a trumpet shape design along with the iconic bold sterling silver band at the rim for which Dorothy Thorpe was known. They are beautiful treasures on their own, but imagine how they will delight the eyes of your guests when filled with wonderfully colorful beverages! The glass is in perfect condition with no nicks, cracks, or chips. The silver band has no scratches or missing silver - just needs a good polish (my arms got tired!) Although not ALL Dorothy Thorpe glassware boasted her etched brand stamp, all 4 of these ladies proudly display the signature '-T-' of the brand. You can call them Mid-Century Modern, you can call them Art Deco, but I call them stunning. Dorothy Thorpe was born in Salt Lake City, UT in 1901. She graduated from the University of Utah and settled in Glendale, CA in the 1930s. Inspired by trips to Hawaii, Thorpe originally designed glassware with eucalyptus, irises, roses and narcissus flowers. These designs were created through a sandblasting technique onto the blank glassware. She produced complete sets of table ensembles which were sold at high-end department stores throughout the U.S. Thorpe is best known for her glassware with simple silver and platinum wide band rims. This clean modern design was recently revived by the television show Mad Men with the 'roly-poly' rocks g
