Dorothy Thorpe mid-century glass punch bowl, unsigned, ladle (not original), and twelve cups; bowl and cups feature a decorative silver band around top edge; bowl measures approximately 7" tall and 11" in diameter; cups each measure approximately 2-1/4" tall and 2-1/2" in diameter; ladle measures approximately 14-1/2" long. Born in Salt Lake City in 1901, Dorothy Thorpe was a mid-century American artist who designed beautiful glassware and ceramic pieces out of her Los Angeles studio. Like many of her mid-century contemporaries, such as Georges Briard and Fred Press, she was a designer, not a manufacturer, of glassware. She purchased simple blank glassware, mostly crystal, from U.S. and European manufacturers and decorated them with her personal designs.
