Here are three vases by Robert Lagestee, grandson of Charles Lotton. Robert always dreamed of one day becoming a glass blower and has been mentored by Charles and his uncles since 2015. Now in his late 20’s he is quite skilled in all the technical aspects of glass blowing and is developing his own distinct artistic designs, as his family has done before him, e.g. Charles’s “Multi Flora” and Daniel’s “Cynthia” vases.
These three vases were made in 2019 and all exhibit variations of Robert’s new design – a CROWN top/mouth. Robert has also named the distinct floral designs found on many of his pieces as TRIPLE HEART BLOSSOMS. These three vases range from 8.25 to 10.0 inches tall. They are all also multi-layered with parts of the decors on separate layers of crystal.
I love these crown topped examples, worthy of the great name. There is some real vivid colours of blue in the one, and the flower fantasies are quite beautiful !~
Thank you Phil; love both the prose and the insight.
