This swirled design bowl would make an exciting addition to any Arts & Crafts, Mission or Bungalow style home or to any collector having Van Briggle, Rookwood, Teco, Weller pottery especially since Artus Van Briggle worked as a early potter at Rookwood.
Van Briggle pottery was first produced in the spring of 1901 (some sources cite 1900) by Artus Van Briggle in Colorado Springs, Colorado. As an accomplished painter, he studied in France in the late 1800s while employed for Rookwood Pottery and garnered an appreciation for Art Nouveau styles while abroad. He left his position as a decorator with Rookwood and moved from Ohio to Colorado for health reasons, according to Warman’s Antiques & Collectibles.
It was in Colorado that Van Briggle perfected the technique of making satin matte-glazed pottery akin to the Chinese masterworks he had admired during his earlier travels abroad as an artist. His new wares were made in a beautiful array of colors and shapes handcrafted in the tradition of the Arts & Crafts movement so prevalent at the turn of the 20th century.
Van Briggle, unfortunately, lost his battle with tuberculosis in 1904, which gave him little time to revel in his accomplishments before he died. However, the Colorado-based business he founded continued under the guidance of his widow, Anne, through 1912. Other entities kept the pottery brand moving forward after Anne gave up the helm.
