Modern, with a burst of sunny iridescence to temper its clean lines, this small dish is pure Sixties chic. Thorpe often moved between extremes—from minimal geometry to highly embellished ornamentation—and her experienced eye manages to suffuse this spare design with a richness through the application of an eye-catching, golden shine. The effect is both subtle and sophisticated.
DETAILS: Dorothy Thorpe's profile spiked with the success of Mad Men and their prominent display of her roly poly glasses (in many a scene of hard drinking). Since then, the popularity of her work has spread to many of the other truly outstanding designs she produced from the 1930s on. Aside from the silver and platinum band glassware (and the lesser seen gold), she made a suite of gorgeous Deco styled sand-ecthed floral glassware display and serving pieces, hand-painted midcentury modern ceramic dinnerware, as well as a very diverse line of modern-themed display dishes with everything from geometric sterling accents to psychedelic patterns. This particular dot design is a rare pattern from the latter's molded glass line.
CONDITION: Very good, with no chips or cracks. These Thorpe designs were never marked, they were paper foil stickered (normally on the front) and as such are often without their labels. The dish is 7" square.
STYLE NOTES: Midcentury Modern, Minimalism
