Set of 4 Tall Roly Poly Mad Men Silver Rim Drinking Glasses - Vintage Tall Large Dorothy Thorpe Style - Midcentury Modern - Rocks / Juice
Get a fab set of 4 vintage tall and large sized silver rimmed drinking glasses from the 1960s. Note these are a little taller in size than the usual "roly poly" style. They hold approx 14 oz. to the brim (10-12 oz. comfortably) and measure 4 1/4" high and the opening at the top is 3" in diameter. The silver rim is approx. 3/8"wide.
The bold silver rims on all of these glasses are in nice condition. When held to the light, the wear to the silver can be seen. There are no chips, cracks, or other structural damage.
Unmarked and similar in style to the barware seen on Mad Men, though I don't believe these are the authentic Dorothy Thorpe.
What are roly poly glasses?
True to their name, you can set the glasses down on their side and they roll back to an upright position.
