MAKER	HISTORY	PATTERN	MARK
VAN BRIGGLE	Van Briggle pottery was founded by Artus and Anne Van Briggle in 1900 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Van Briggle began producing art pottery in 1901. Artus and Anne were both accomplished decorators for Rookwood pottery prior to starting Van Briggle. The Van Briggle's left Rookwood due to Artus's failing health. Artus suffered from tuberculosis and it was believed the climate and altitude change in Colorado would benefit his health. Artus Van Briggle passed away in 1904 from complications related to his illness. Anne continued to run Van Briggle pottery and produced many of the arts and crafts vases until 1912. The tragic and romantic side of Artus and Anne's relationship continues to interest many collectors to this day. Starting with the late teens and continuing into the early 1920s, Van Briggle Pottery that was not dated was typically marked with the logo and VAN BRIGGLE in either all caps or script. A common characteristic of Van Briggle Pottery produced during this period is a darker clay bottom (often referred to as a dirty bottom) and bottoms with glaze streaks and residue..	75.00	INQUIRE HERE: fur-6-#01
