As indeed do I Peter!   :)  

I have no problem with him not liking Jablonski's work, and I trust him to know what he's talking about if he says there's no link between LSA and the Jablonski Crystal Factory, although this was not clear to me in my first investigations into LSA.


--- Quote --- This selection illustrates that this is a significantly sized commercial operation - not studio production. Apart from consulting with gaffers on new lines, I doubt Mr Jablonski  has any part in production itself. So in that sense there will be no distinction between his production and that of the factory.

I can understand that, but I having done further research now and seen various galleries which refer to Adam Jablonski being "awarded 12 gold medals" and examples of his work having been purchased by the Corning Glass Museum, I thought surely he can't just be producing "cheap, lumpy, mass-produced" glass, as Ivo sees it!    :shock:


--- Quote ---Leni you are NOT a cheapskate at all. It's just that newly made fine Art Glass in small series is very very expensive.

Well, it's nice of you to say so, but I reckon I am, 'cos I'm not rich enough to be anything else, really!   :(   That's not to say I wouldn't LOVE to buy some of the glass on the link you sent - thank you, by the way - I have bookmarked it for when I win the lottery!   :roll:

I have to say I didn't like ALL of them by any means, and some I didn't like as much as some of the Adam J pieces - this one, for example (copyright the Polish Chamber of Commerce website, presumably ??)

But I wouldn't say no to a David Lotton Clematis Reflection vase or bowl, for example, if anyone feels like treating me  :lol:  

BTW, Still waiting to see if someone can tell me which factories LSA DO use!  :?

If I were in the market for new glass I would not buy any of those three companies.
I would look for small studio producers which I'm not well up on but one which sticks in my head and heart is Blowzone

I am sure that LSA are not about to divulge who produces their designs - whether Krosno, Irena, Wresniak or any  of the other 60 glass works nobody ever heard of in Poland and really, it is of no consequence.  LSA supply the drawings and the stickers - the rest is strictly internal.  Another company working in the same style is Leonardo (Glaskoch, Germany). It does not matter to them if the wares are produced in Poland, Romania, India or China. It is just a matter or price and quality.

Frank:
Blowzone is of course Iestyn Davies who started out as a designer for Stuart Strathearn. Some examples are shown here LINK more will be added in the next few months, so you get an idea of the development he has made since then.

Just seen one on eBay 3780499876
