Like Lilly Pulitzer "Lettuceware" is a Palm Beach Original and was retailed for years at the Gourmet Shop on Worth Avenue. Because of the labor intensive process involved in creating each piece - AUTHENTIC Period Lettuceware is VERY SCARCE.
Toward the end of her life Dodie Thayer allowed TORY BURCH to licence and reproduce a line based on the original.
Larger items like this Centerpiece or Tureens had to be special ordered from the artist and for decades during the 60's/70's had a multi-year wait list.
FRESH PALM BEACH ESTATE PURCHASE
