To say that I'm slightly obsessed with vintage glassware is putting it mildly. I love these, especially the glassware with red dots.
In regards to the one you labeled Dorothy Thorpe, it's more of a Dorothy Thorpe style/copycat. Her glasses have 1" silver rims. Not to say that these aren't cool; just not DT.

I have a growing collection of vintage shot glasses, similar to photos 1, 2, and 5. Some look like mini wine glasses and others look like tiny glass mugs. My apartment came with a long, low built-in shelf that makes for a great display area.
Etsy is a great place for vintage glass finds!
Beautiful Vintage Glassware!! Thank you for including mine!!
