Dorothy Thorpe Amazing Lily Vase

$32.99

Dorothy Thorpe of Glendale, CA., is a world-renowned artist and designer who has worked in many mediums including glassware. Dorothy’s career started during the depression days when she decided to make a tumbler from a beer bottle. She saw the sun shining through a beer bottle which had been placed on the window sill and decided to cut the neck off and decorate it with Raffia. She gave one of her first creations to her brother who took it to MGM Studios where he worked. Clark Gable saw the glass and liked it so much that he ordered six dozen. Gable was an omen of the type of customer Mrs. Thorpe would have in years to come.

What a beautiful Vase by Dorothy C. Thorpe! I am not good with Flowers but I beieve the etch is Lilies. Standing 3 3/4 inches tall with no damage or repairs. The smudges in the pictures do not appear on the Vase. We believe this piece to be from the 1940's. Marked on the bottom with the Thorpe mark.
