In the 1960s, Palm Beach County native ceramicist Dodie Thayer created her Lettuce-ware designs that became much-desired in Palm Beach — and have experienced a resurgence among today’s collectors. Folk such as the Duchess of Windsor collected the works of Thayer, as did Brooke Marshall Astor, before she became Mrs. Vincent Astor. Mrs. Astor collected lettuce-ware, as did the late Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
Provenance: From the Estate of Clara Hayes Barrett
