Mini Brass Creamer Vase w/ Handle, by Artus Van Briggle Green Patina Finish For Sale

Van Briggle Art Pottery was founded in Colorado Springs, Colorado, by Artus Van Briggle in 1901. The company was known for its distinctive glazes and Art Nouveau-inspired designs, often featuring nature motifs. Van Briggle pottery became highly sought after for its artistic merit and unique aesthetic. This particular piece appears to be an early mark example, possibly from the period between 1904 and 1907, as indicated by the style and glaze. The "Mary's" label might refer to a specific collection, a retailer, or a previous owner's inventory mark. The dark gloss glaze is characteristic of some of their early production, often combined with subtle drip effects.
