Vintage Lot of 2 Silver Fade Highball Glasses - Dorothy Thorpe Style - Early Atomic Age Barware
Do you need a couple of glasses to complete your set?
Condition: There are no chips or cracks. These glasses exhibit permanent etching. When dry, the clear parts of the glass have a cloudy appearance that disappears from sight when the glasses are wet. Etching is commonly caused by excessive use of dishwashing soap and hot water. I tried all of the online tricks to eliminate it, but nothing worked. So, if you have a set that is missing a glass or two and you want an inexpensive replacement, this is your lucky day!
Update: I added a few more photos with a white background because the black background highlights the etching and makes them look their worst. I also added a photo with the glasses filled with water to show how it lessens the appearance of the etching.
