Dorothy Thorpe Roly Poly Punch Cups Silver Rimmed Set of Eight Mid Century
This is a great mid-century modern set … more Dorothy Thorpe Roly Poly Punch Cups Silver Rimmed Set of Eight Mid Century
This is a great mid-century modern set of eight roly poly glasses designed by the iconic Dorothy Thorpe. This pattern has the thick sterling silver band and was produced from 1946-1963. I would estimate this was made in the later years.
Note: Some research I did that might be helpful for a new owner of Dorothy Thorpe: Use extra caution when cleaning these roly poly glasses. If you polish the silver it will go back to looking tarnished in a couple weeks so do it right before you plan to have company. When you polish, be gentle and don’t scrub back and forth. Use a circular motion. Thorpe collectors have advised washing very carefully with gentle soap like Dawn and a soft sponge or even just your finger tips. Facebook groups of Dorothy Thorpe nerds exist and there is a wealth of knowledge.
