Federal

Federal

Federal Glass.  Stockholm.  922-12oz Hi-Ball  [silver band]

A neat set I recently found thrifting.  While Federal produced a few lines with a platinum ring(s), these are decorated in silver and I can find no reference to this pattern on Stockholm.  I'm assuming Federal produced these for some distributor who then sold them with the caddy.

Nice set! I've been finding a lot of silver-banded glassware lately. It's confusing to identify the Dorothy Thorpe stuff, and to distinguish her Silver Band from Allegro. 


It has a nice, clean modern look about it and I rarley pass it up when I see it in the wild.

I don't collect Thorpe, and know next to nothing on the subject, save to say that just about anything with a silver band on it is attributed to her.  I don't recall ever seeing a collector's book on Thorpe either.  Indeed, it can be most confusing.

Nice walnut caddy and sweet Stockholm glassware, too boot!
