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.” 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.
