When viewed from inside the silver slashing shards look 3 dimensional - as you peer through the glass to the outside streaks of sterling. Hard to see, but when you feel the rim of the bowl there is subtler scalloped ripple in the glass under the rim. These inclusions add dimensions the sterling shine.

Dorothy Thorpe. American. [1901 -?] Glassware Ceramics designer artist.
"She created these breathtaking designs by using a sandblasting technique. She was also known for her silver overlay and paint speckled glass pieces which included all types of glassware and punchbowl sets.
Her sandblasted pieces are undeniably Thorpe as most, if not all, have her trademark signature. This is also true of her paint speckled pieces, which include designs in gold fleck and pastel speckled colors. "-DTB [ed]
