Dear all,
I had an enquiry come through recently with the following information (see below). Does anyone on the list know of 'Lotta' ceramics and able to assist this enquirer with the information he wants to know. We don't have anything in our collection by this maker. He is happy for people to contact him directly with any relevant information or recommended places that might know this ceramics make. Thanks for your help.
Best wishes,
Lydia

Subject: I am trying to find someone who knows about Lotta ceramics,can you help me?
Dear Madam, dear Sir, Can you please make sure this email gets to
the appropriate person?
I am sending you photos of a porcelain ceramic bathroom set that I own.
It is a four piece set consisting of a water pot, a wash basin, a
small bowl with lid and a flower vase. I have done extensive research
and contacted a number of specialists, but with no results. The
signature on the set is "Lotta", with the "L" being the shape of a
tree limb.
I was told by the previous owner, that this set came from a plantation
home in Meridian, Mississippi.
Dimensions:
* Water pot: 14 ½ inches high (with lid), 15 inches wide (from handle
to handle)
* Water basin: 4 ¾ inches high, 14 ¾ inches wide
* Small bowl with lid: 3 ½ inches high, 5 ½ inches wide
* Small flower vase: 5 inches high, 4 inches wide
Can you tell me anything about my set? Or can you forward this email
to someone who might know something about them? Thank You!
Sincerely Les Howard
