Dorothy Thorpe’s rarest pattern — and the most glamorous two people have ever made cocktails.
Dorothy Thorpe is one of Mid-Century Modern barware’s most celebrated names, and the Atomic Splash pattern is among her rarest. This set — a cocktail pitcher and two roly poly glasses — is all blown glass, decorated with encrusted zig-zag gold ribbon on a brushed gold ground. The pitcher has the iconic curved cocktail shape of the era, almost Art Deco in its lines, perfectly sized for two. A genuine collector’s find.
