About the Item

"Vase" is a ceramic vase with a unique matte glaze. The piece is signed and is comprised of beautiful shades of green and blue. 7 3/8" x 3" vase Statement from the Van Briggle pottery company: "Each day the Van Briggle studios produce the early designs of its founders, Artus and Anne Van Briggle, as well as pieces created over the years that compliment their celebrated style, in a variety of colors - both historic and contemporary.... An overview of Van Briggle pieces over the last century shows hundreds of designs with flower, animal or human subjects artistically applied to pottery forms. Typically, these pieces are highlighted with a soft matte glaze - Artus Van Briggle’s passion. The subject of Van Briggle is, essentially, nature, which for all intents and purposes is an inexhaustible source for the artist. Themes and motifs inspired by nature can be interpreted and reinterpreted indefinitely on graceful forms. Matte glazes may be created with a broad range of hues to enhance and lend these forms a soft satin touch. A viewing of our current inventory shows a number of designs created by Artus and Anne Van Briggle that have been produced continuously since the early 20th century. Along with these, one finds distinctive designs by other artists that have been added to the collection over the years. Of course the majority of pieces are glazed with the signature Van Briggle matte glaze - one of Artus’ most profound achievements - in various colors. ... Artus Van Briggle established his pottery during the Arts and Crafts movement, a time when many artists and craftsmen were creating their works in reaction to the mass production of the industrial revolution. Though the scope of the Van Briggle tradition is broader than the movement, Van Briggle’s work fits well within its emphasis on making hand-crafted art available to a wider public... Artus and Anne Van Briggle’s aims and values were noble and sincere. As we remain true to these goals, the Van Briggle tradition, begun so many years ago, will continue long into the future."
