All three pieces are of the same pattern but each has their individual character as is with all of Thorpe’s pieces. The Dorothy Thorpe "Atomic Splash" patterns for serving and giftware are exceedingly rarer than the classic silver and platinum band pieces.

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.
