This is a gorgeous streamline modernist glass shallow bowl in an oval shape that comes to points at the ends and curves up from the center. The sand carved "Rose" motif from designer Dorothy Thorpe is not only quite rare, but is in spectacular condition having survived the decades with the original sticker still attached, and it is signed with her DTC block letter mark on the very edge. The perfect combination of traditional sensibility and mid-century modern design. Don't miss this rare treasure.
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.
