Dorothy C. Thorpe

Designer

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.

Dorothy Thorpes connection with the A. H. Heisey & Co., Newark, OH., is not as a Heisey designer, but as a designer who asked Heisey to produce her own creation. The #7009 Hydrangea Stem was produced for her company by Heisey in the early 40’s.
