The set features a large scale freeform-divided serving tray and small bowl with gold inlaid scroll design on the textured glass, the pattern is known as the "Gold Scroll Motif." These items in this golden pattern are from the one of the rarest collections of Dorothy Thorpe, as they we produced in much smaller quantities, for less length of time than the classic silver band collections, and many did not survive the decades in such wonderful condition as they two have, if at all. The Regal treasures are perfect for use serving dishes at a cocktail party or as elegant accent dishes in a coffee table or vanity.
Oblong Tray: 19” x 12.25” x 1.75”
Small Bowl: 7” x 1.75”

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.
