Catalog Note: The Lotton Glass works in this sale come from the owners of Ancestor House Antiques in Toledo, Ohio, Ted and Sheila Powers. Ted and Sheila were longtime Lotton dealers having established a relationship with Charles Lotton (1935-2021) many years ago, as well as with his sons and family as time progressed. As dealers, the Powers were given access to many special pieces and opportunities not available to the general public: Several pieces in this sale reflect that special relationship. Sadly, Ted Powers passed away three years ago and Ancestor House Antiques has closed its doors. The warm relationship between Sheila and the Lotton family still exists and will always be there. Ted Powers was a giant of a man with a big heart and a great eye. He is missed by all who knew him.
