<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ola402, post: 12013398, member: 182&quot;]It doesn&#039;t surprise me that this glass is Czech. Or thought to be.&nbsp; One of the old timey and very knowledgeable glass guys who used to come into the mall I was at told me that most of the glass id&#039;d as Dorothy Thorpe really wasn&#039;t.&nbsp; This was at the time when Mad Men was still on TV.&nbsp; He said this silver deposit glass was being imported &quot;by the shiploads&quot; but I don&#039;t remember what decade he said.&nbsp; IMO, both of these pieces are very attractive, but I really like the pitcher best.&nbsp; My dad had lots of decanters so I also now have lots of decanters and don&#039;t need any more, lol!</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought some Dorothy Thorpe items for resale and would not want to actually own any.&nbsp; The silver was I believe Sterling, but was difficult to polish and impossible not to retarnish quickly.&nbsp; It drove me a little crazy but everyone wanted it for a while to use during their Mad Men viewing parties.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
