We're in the final countdown to New Year's Eve. Over the next few days, we'd like to share some glass and serviceware items—handsome and useful—which might add a little extra sparkle to your holiday gathering.
Shown above, a Modernist cocktail service by Dorothy Thorpe: a mixing pitcher, stirring rod, and pair of roly poly cocktail tumblers. Made in the Sixties, the rims of the glasses and pitcher are topped with a thick platinum band. It's a single, bold stroke of decoration which perfectly captures the powerful simplicity of the period. Click on the photo above to learn more about this handsome cocktail service.
More New Year's Eve serviceware ideas tomorrow and in the days to come.
