Charles Lotton 9-Inch Opal Vase

The long-time collector that we acquired this piece from told us the story behind it. 

He was visiting Charles at the studio and saw this piece.  When he asked Charles about it, Charles told him that he created this piece to test the co-efficiency compatibilities of all the colors that he had in the studio at the time.  Obviously, they were all compatible! 

This is piece number 299 in the Lotton Book.
