At last weeks Baltimore antique show, one of our purchases was this Charles Lotton, Multi Flora, Pink Iris Cypriot Bowl with Selenium Red Interior. I fell in love with the rich and vibrant colors, wonderful texture and size which measures 8" h x 9" w. We were able to meet Mr. Lotton who took time to talk to my family and me and explained his different techniques and styles. He was such a humble and kind man, and we walked away so impressed. As a little bonus, he allowed us to commission a caged bowl we've been dying to own. As always thanks for looking.
I knew you would not be disappointed :)
Definitely not disappointed Eye, I was thrilled to meet him. Also, thanks for the love Lee, Blunder, Eye, Nuts and Mac.
Rick ... I wore my Tommy Bahama on the day I met him also ...
Eye... Had you met him before?
Rick, i am so happy for you to have such wonderful experience, get this beautiful vase, and meet Mr,Charles Lotton in person, one of a lifetime. ;-)
Congrats
Alan
No ... But I know a few people who have ... I had been hearing for years about how nice and friendly he is ... OMGosh, I think we chatted for an hour that day ...
I attempted a post of the experience a few times but kept revising it ... I just could not find the words to convey my feelings ...
Thanks so much Alan, your love and comment is appreciated. Also thank you for the love Craig and Agh. @Eye... Your friends were right. When I first met him I have to admit I was a little star struck, but he turned out to be so easy going and friendly... a truly wonderful person.
very lucky Rick
