Dorothy Thorpe of Glendale, California was a world-renowned artist and designer who worked in many media including glassware. Her 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. FREE TRIAL Add a map to your own listings FREE Trial!
