Charles Lotton Red Selenium Multiflora Lamp (1998)

The peak of the Master's art: Charles Lotton's incredible Red Selenium Multiflora Lamp from 1998 is destined to shine its light in a museum some day, along with works from other Masters of the glass-making art, like Louis Comfort Tiffany. The Red Selenium lamp exemplifies Charles Lotton's facility with kinetic floral motifs — the "Multi Flora" design — along with unique combinations of glass layers and custom created pigmentation from the Master batch maker.

Charles Lotton manages to manipulate layers of molten glass into graceful flowers that seem to float as if frozen in time.

Various videos on-line demonstrate Charles' facility in working this molten glass into one-of-a-kind creations like this lamp. The beauty of this outstanding Red Selenium lamp is that it is both a work of art that changes throughout the day — and also a beautiful lamp that illuminates and transfigures your surroundings at night.
