Based in California, Dorothy Thorpe started designing glass pieces in the 1940s. Her work was initially sold in a small Hollywood gift shop and was soon picked up by the larger well-known stores. Her customer base grew and included high profile names as Clarke Gable, Princess Grace of Monaco and the Shah of Iran.
In the mid 20th Century, she began experimenting with Lucite with the design of these Pretzel candlesticks generally attributed to Elaine Bscheider for Dorothy Thorpe Inc. The candlesticks were never marked but were sold with the Dorothy Thorpe label.
