She graduated from the University of Utah and settled in Glendale, CA in the 1930s. She produced complete sets of table ensembles which was sold at highend department stores throughout the US. Thorpe is best known for her simple and classic style. Thorpe was a mid-century designer and not a manufacturer, of class wear. She purchased "blanks" from manufactures and than decorated them with her personal designs. Many were inspired by her trips to Hawaii, Thorpe orginally designed glassware with eucalyptus, iris, roses and narcissus flowers. These designs were created through a sandblasting technique on to the blank glassware. Thorpe died in San Diego, CA 1989.Shipping cost includes packaging materials when applicable and insurance cost.

I have recently decided it is time to sell a large part of this collection. The majority of my collection was acquired in various tag and estate auction sales in Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. Notes/Comments on Vintage Glass My items are available for sale in an "As Is" condition. All the glass being sold is vintage. This means the glass pieces were manufactured between 1890 and 1960 unless stated otherwise (most pieces were manufactured from 1900 to 1940). The glass being sold is USED, it is not NEW. In many cases the quality of the glass does not equal what is being manufactured today. The manufacturing methods were not modern. The result of these manufacturing methods is they item may have: "Straw Marks" Rough Edges Bubbles Mold Marks Other Discontinuities These items are not usually found in modern glass. These are to be EXPECTED in vintage glass. Also this glass was probably used at the kitchen or dining room table, it was then washed. It may have been taken in and out of the ice box or refrigerator. The results of these actions are that many of the pieces may exhibit surface scratches or other type of wear discontinuities. I will attempt to identity any discontinuities found in the glass, by describing the discontinuities and if possible showing them in my pictures (not always an easy thing to accomplish). Fact: I am not a glass expert. I will do my best to describe the glass and identify discontinuities. It is possible I might describe a condition different than you would describe it. It is also possible in some cases we would both look at things differently. Read my description carefully. Look at the pictures carefully. Utilize the blowup the zoom feature. In doubt ask a question. This may help us both to "see" what the other one sees. Neither of us wants to have an item to have to be returned. NOBODY WINS.
