Description
Vintage Dorothy Thorpe glassware. Light yellow satin with clear stem. The lighting on some of the photos makes the yellow appear much darker than it actually is. The photos that depict the yellow lighter are the most accurate. Some are slightly more faded than others. I suspect due to how often each was used. They’re in very good condition . They are very delicate with a solid base.
