Dorothy Thorpe Chip and Dip Set | Mid-Century Glass Bowls with Sterling Overlay

Vintage Dorothy Thorpe Silver Band Serving Set | 3 Piece Glassware

Dorothy Thorpe Chip and Dip Set | Mid-Century Glass Bowls with Sterling Overlay brings the clean glamour of 1950s entertaining to the table. This three-piece Silver Band set includes the large serving bowl, smaller dip bowl, and coordinating toothpick holder, each crafted from clear glass with Dorothy Thorpe's distinctive sterling silver overlay. We love how timeless these pieces feel, with enough midcentury presence to stand on their own while mixing beautifully with antique silver, white dinnerware, and more contemporary table settings.

One of the things we love most about this set is that the pieces don't have to be reserved for their original purpose. Use the large bowl for salad or chips, the smaller bowl for dressing, salsa, or dip, and the little cup for toothpicks, olives, or cocktail picks. Separating the pieces makes them every bit as useful for today's entertaining as they would have been on a 1950s cocktail table.
