Van Briggle Water Pitcher

About the Item

Elegant blue-purple water pitcher by Van Briggle Pottery. This color is uncommon - most of these pieces were made in a turquoise color. Finished by Carolyn French. Glazed by either Annette Moody or Garoid (Gary) Dhondt. Maker's logo, name, and location inscribed on the bottom, including marks for the finisher (CF) Caroline French and glazer (XI). Van Briggle pottery has been made continuously since 1901 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. It was founded by Artus Van Briggle. Before moving to Colorado for health reasons in 1899, Van Briggle was a major decorator for Rookwood Pottery in Ohio. The Van Briggle Pottery Company built its success on soft dull (matte) glazes. After Artus died in 1904, the business was taken over by his wife Anna and was renamed the Van Briggle Company. The business was reorganized again in 1910 as Van Briggle Pottery and Tile Company. Anna's involvement ended about 1912. Various managers and owners ran the business through the 1920s. In 1931, the business was renamed again as Van Briggle Art Pottery which it remains to this day.
