Reference:
Doris DuBois Thayer Hawthorn, better known as Dodie, began modestly creating lettuce leaf designs in her home workshop in the early 1960s. “I wanted to do something creative, and I liked working with my hands, so I took up ceramics.” Quoted in Marian King, The Greening of Tableware, Palm Beach Daily News
Throughout her career the unmistakable green glaze of Dodie Thayer’s wares attracted the attention of some of the greatest American socialites of the 20th century, including:
the Duchess of Windsor.
C.Z Guest (sold by her daughter Cornelia Guest, at Sotheby’s New York, October 17, 2015, lots 500-508, for $112,875),
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis,
Mary Sayles Booker Braga,
and Barbara and Frank Sinatra.
