This is indeed a rare find; two matching Dorothy Thorpe large scale serving trays/platters in very lovely condition that have survived the decades together! This pair of "Allegro" Classic Silver Band Statement Serving Platters are true showstoppers, not only because of the size, scale and condition but because it is nearly impossible to find just one, let a lone two. These larger scale pieces from Thorpe's "Allegro" collection had a smaller production than other pieces in that collection. Stun your guests by making these two mid-century modern treasures the centerpiece of your dining table, coffee table or console.
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.
