Today I'm offering a lovely set of seven (7) 12-ounce tumblers with a wide (1") band of platinum/silver at the top.  They are in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, wear or other damage. I see no wear on the silver; perhaps they were never used.  They measure 5-3/4" tall, 3" across the top and 1-3/4" across the bottom.  Many people identify this type of tumbler as "Dorothy Thorpe."  It is possible these were made by her but could be a look-a-like. 

 

Dorothy was a mid-century American artist and designer.  Born in Salt Lake City in 1901, she was a music student at the University of Utah but settled in Glendale, California in the 1930's and turned to glass designing and sandblasting.  She decorated glassware for many of the elegant glass manufacturers of the time. She designed a line called Silver Band that had a 1" band of sterling silver around the top rim.  I read that almost all barware in the Silver Band line had paper or foil labels. They were not sand etched with her logo.   I have no idea if that is accurate for these, but they look similar.

Photos are part of the description so be sure to look carefully.  This item comes from a no smoking, no pet home. Please note that the white spots or lines on the photos are glare from overhead lights and not damage on the item, unless I so indicate in the foregoing description. 

Actual weight of these tumblers is 3 lbs 12 oz.   FYI, I am estimating the shipping weight to be 5.5 pounds. Shipping costs for glass, pottery and other breakables may include a small packaging fee.  I accept payment by PayPal only.  If I overestimate the weight on your package and so overcharge on shipping, I will refund amounts over $1.  If I undercharge, I'll eat it. :)  I will never ask you to pay more.  I ship only within the continental United States.  I will combine auctions when possible so contact me or request an invoice if you wish to save on shipping.  I will look forward to receiving payment within 3 days of the end of the auction.  I will ship within 5 business days after I'm notified of payment by PayPal.  I'm often out of town but when possible, I will ship sooner.

 

I pack very well to be sure your treasure arrives safely.  All the items I sell are vintage and usually pre-owned so are likely not perfect.  However, I do my best to describe the item(s) and its condition accurately and completely.  Although I do not rely solely on photos to describe the items I sell, photos are an integral part of the description, so be sure to look at them all.  I will make a refund only if I have failed to describe some material flaw. 

I am constantly on the lookout for interesting vintage items and I'm also paring my own collections, many of which are in boxes, so be sure to check out my store.  You never know what you may find.

If I haven't included information you want to know, please send me a question.  I'll respond as quickly as I can.
