Description
Each with the impressed mark, 9 3/4" dia.Note: Dodie Thayer, was born into a Florida legacy family, and after marriage, she turned to pottery making in the midst of motherhood to make ends meet. Thayer produced different kind of vases and bowls and eventually developed her signature style of "Lettuce Ware" in the 1960's. Her wares were sold at the Palm Beach gourmet store, Au Bon Gout, on Worth Avenue. After some experimentation and direction from the staff at Au Bon Gout, she was ultimately influenced by Italy's green Napoli ware. The vivid green glazing and lifelike quality made an impression. Eventually, her pottery business thrived and her pieces caught on with the Palm Beach socialites and the jet-set crowd. Frank and Barbara Sinatra, The Kennedy's, and Brooke Astor, hosted lavish parties with her table wares adorning each table. Thayer continued making her pottery pieces into the 1980's. Provenance: Gulfstream, Florida Estate
