Van Briggle Pottery: The Glory Of The Rockies By Donald-Brian Johnson

he soft tones of the glaze are closely akin to the deep blues and purples of the mountains, to the brilliant turquoise of the skies, to the greens of summer, and to the wonderful rosy and tawny tones of the plains in winter. The clay is Colorado clay, and the decoration in low relief is taken largely from native wild flowers conventionalized. It expresses not only the ideas of its maker, but the spirit of the country as well.” Colorado Springs Gazette, 1905 A palette of vibrant color.

“

the Academié Julian in Paris. There, Van Briggle became fascinated by pottery produced during the Chinese Ming Dynasty, particularly by its “dead” (soft matte) glazes. The technique used to produce these true-ton a t u r e ’s - c o l o r s glazes had been lost in the mists of time; resurrecting it became Van Briggle’s obsession. (Another Paris-inspired obsession: fellow art student

into clay. These are the magical elements behind the enduring appeal of Van Briggle, America’s oldest continuously operating art pottery. Nestled at the base of Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Van Briggle Pottery turned out its first artware in 1899. Since then, collectors have clamored for the pieces created by Artus and Anne Van Briggle, and their successors. The lines are simple, yet evocative, the glazes deep and velvety, the finished product hypnotically alluring. A Van Briggle vase may not actually be a slice of turquoise sky, or an armful of summer greenery. But it’s the next-best thing. “The Oldest Art In History” Van Briggle Pottery owes its heritage to the turn-of-the-20thcentury experimentations of company founder Artus Van Briggle. Born in Felicity, Ohio, in 1869, Van Briggle moved to Cincinnati while still in his teens. His first paying job: at the “ A r n o l d Fairyland Doll Store,” which put him to work painting facial features on bisque and china dolls. After juggling an apprenticeship at Avon Pottery with classes at the Cincinnati Art School, Artus moved on to the famed Rookwood Pottery. His skill as a decorator, specializing in hand-painted design, brought him to the attention of Maria Storer, Rookwood’s founder. In 1893, recognizing his unique artistic talents, Storer sponsored Van Briggle’s further studies at

Anne Lawrence Gregory who, in 1902, became Anne Van Briggle.) Returning to the United States in 1896, Artus balanced part-time work at Rookwood with his ongoing quest to recreate the Ming glazes. In 1899, the never-robust Van Briggle, suffering from the onset of tuberculosis, moved to Colorado, in hopes that a higher, drier climate might benefit his health. (Another, although unspoken, reason for the move: a desire to create pottery with greater simplicity of decoration than that favored by Rookwood.) Settling in Colorado Springs, Van Briggle continued his glaze experimentation, utilizing native clays from the vicinity of the Pineapple candleholders, mulberry glaze, 7 inches long, $50 to $75 a pair.

Garden of the Gods. Sometime in 1900, (the exact moment has never been pinpointed), Van Briggle’s Holy Grail of Glazedom was attained: the marble-like soft glaze of the

Ming period was successfully married to the sturdy clays of Colorado. In December, 1901, Van Briggle pottery was first officially offered to the public; all three hundred pieces in the initial run were immediately snapped up, and a pottery legend was born. “Every Tone Of Light And Shadow” “Few men have done as much for an art as did this man.” Henry Russell Wray Colorado Springs Gazette, 1904 For Artus Van Briggle, the search for pottery perfection lasted longer than the success that followed. In 1902, the Paris Salon recognized his innovative glaze and design work with varied awards. In 1903, “Despondency,” a Van Briggle vase with the figure of a sorrowful w o m a n coiled about the vase mouth, was a Salon first-place winner. 1904 brought further honors at the St. Louis Exposition. But in July, 1904, at the age of 35, Artus Van Briggle succumbed to his ongoing illness. The company was now in the hands of his partner, in work and in life, Anne Van Briggle. A talented artist in her own right, Anne Van Briggle built on the creative foundations established both by Artus, and during their collaboration, expanding the company’s output and workforce. (In the 1950s and 1960s, a shiny-glazed pottery line, uncharacteristic of the firm’s usual product, was incised “Anna Van Briggle,” supposedly in Ann’s honor; it bears no connection to her own work.) Most importantly, at least to the throngs of potterylovers who soon flocked there, Anne Van Briggle spearheaded the 1908 construction of the new Van Briggle Memorial Pottery complex. “It’s A Free Tour!” Do you know: - that “throwing on the potter’s wheel” is the oldest art in history? - that this old and fascinating art can be seen at the Van Briggle Art Pottery without charge? - that this trip is known as the “wonder trip” of the Pikes Peak Region? - that Van Briggle is right on the Garden of the Gods road, and when taking auto trips your driver will stop without extra

charge? Van Briggle promotional brochure, 1950s From the moment it opened, the Van Briggle Memorial Pottery was a must-see tourist destination. “In the shadow of Pikes Peak” was no exaggeration: the pottery’s handy Monument Valley Park location proved ideal for attracting tourists already in the

area. Even family vacationers and honeymooners needed an occasional breather between treks up the Peak, and motor trips through the Garden of the Gods. What could be more enticing than a restful hour or two perusing pottery in production? And, after viewing demonstrations of “the oldest art” in full swing, who could resist stocking up on at least one Van Briggle purchase, as a spe-

Nicholas Van den Arend, (“and built at tremendous cost,” boasted the company brochures), the Memorial Pottery had a folksy Flemish manor-house design, ideally suited to its open-air surroundings. All building décor items, most notably the colorful exterior tiles, were produced at the Van Briggle plant. While most associate the Van Briggle name with its decorative line of artware, this was an all-purpose pottery. Among the numerous products produced there over the decades: tile, both plain and decorative; enameled brick; architectural embellishments; mantel inserts (as well as complete mantels); garden furniture; lamps and electrical fixtures; wall fountains, and even advertising novelties! Wrote one impressed visitor after her tour, “I consider my visit to your art pottery one of the high spots of my trip to Colorado”. And, as Van Briggle often assured us, “thousands more agree”. “If It’s Van Briggle, This Mark Is On It” Of course, the major drawing card for Van Briggle has always been its line of artware, first premiered by Artus. Some pieces are utilitarian (vases, bowls, planters, candleholders, and the like); some, such as figurines and wall plaques, are purely decorative. But regardless of function (or non-function), the timelessness of Van Briggle blends well with any décor. Although nominally Art Nouveau in its use of velvety-rich muted color, swirling lines, and soft-edged shapes, Van Briggle is really at home in any era.

c i a l souvenir of t h i s Colorado sojourn? Once home, that purchase would find a place of honor; admiring guests would then add a Van Briggle visit to their next Colorado vacation. For travelers, Van Briggle meant a free tour. For Van Briggle, those free tours meant big bucks. Designed by Dutch architect

The misnomer of the antiques trade is that antiques both never go down in value and you can always recoup your “investment.” Wow, if only life (and antiques) were really like that. Collecting antiques should be about fun and personal enjoyment first, and increasing value as a distant second. Why? Because unless you are connected to a network of people who will buy your treasures at strong retail prices whenever you are ready to sell, it is unlikely that you can obtain the fast liquidity and guaranteed pricing that you, as an investor, want or need. A case in point is a friend of mine who has been forced to move from a large apartment into a very small one on incredibly fast notice. She has a number of large case pieces, along with a huge collection of Murano art glass, neither of which will fit in her digs. The pieces are not super early or highly valued but rather an assemblage of useable furniture and a fun collection acquired over the years. So, what are the solutions for her? 1. Listing them at online direct selling venue. I think

this is a good choice, as she can sell her treasures directly to a private seller for the highest prices without paying commissions or fees. BUT, my friend only has a month or so to get the items out and no storage at her new place. So this one is off the table. 2. Auctions. Regular readers know that I am a big fan of the auction route. Items often do very well there and the auctioneer assumes the responsibility for marketing and promoting the pieces. The reality is, however, that most of the items will bring a fraction of what she paid, owing to their age. 3. Consignment shops. I have mixed feelings about consignment shops. Some that I have been in are exceptionally well run and highly regarded and established. Others seem to be very fly-by-night with little regard or understanding of what they are selling. They are, as I have jokingly commented, the place where old unused wedding gifts go to die! They may take her stuff, but then again not. 4. Flea Markets. In this case, I actually am recommending that she store some of the things temporarily and head to the flea market to sell them on the first warm weekend that comes. Price the stuff at a fraction of what you paid and hope that it all goes. Wow…hard comments here from someone who is optimistic about the antiques

offer a more easily attainable, yet still high quality alternative to Japanese porcelain. The “crossed swords” logo seen on the bottom of this 20th century copy were first put into use by the Meissen factory in 1722 as a trademark and by 1731, all Meissen porcelain bore the “crossed swords.” Variations of the trademark were put into use to help determine an approximate date for each piece. This mark has been largely copied. As a 20th-century copy, this reader’s basket is worth around $30 to $40.

The Meissen porcelain factory became the first European producer of true hard paste porcelain when the secret was discovered by Johann Friedrich Boettger in the early part of the 18th century. The factory has continued to produce high quality porcelain ever since. A large number of copies of Meissen pieces have been made and this basket appears to be a copy from the 20th century. The Meissen porcelain factory came to fame, in part, as a copyist. Not only did they find the secrets of Japanese and Chinese porcelain, they decided to copy the designs of Japanese porcelain that existed in the nearby Saxon royal collection.

Video Gaming Gets The Nod At The Smithsonian

5(11,1*(56 .87=72:1 $QWLTXHV &ROOHFWRUV (;75$9$*$1=$

It can take centuries for some things to gain status in the eyes of collectors and historians. For other things, only decades are required, and this certainly applies to the art created for video games. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been about 40 years since this art form began. In the world of technology, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost a lifetime. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a fan of video gaming and its striking graphics and creative storytelling, head to the Smithsonianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s American Art Museum - March 16 through September 30 - for â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Art Of Video Games.â&#x20AC;? The exhibition features 80 games, selected with the help of the public, that demonstrate the evolution of the medium. A three-day festival celebrates the opening of this ground-breaking exhibition; and, after its presentation in Washington, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Art of Video Gamesâ&#x20AC;? will travel to multiple cities, including New York, Memphis, and Boca Raton. Learn more about the exhibit in these videos, http://americanart.si.edu/ exhibitions/archive/2012/ games/artists/ posted at the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website.

yet another high-profile event. The company’s owner, Jeanne Bertoia, has confirmed that Bertoia’s will auction the renowned Richard T. “Dick” Claus collection of nautical toys and

boats later this year. The collection will be divided into two parts, with Part I to be auctioned on May 12. Part II will be offered in the fall. “We’re thrilled to be handling Dick Claus’ collection. It’s widely acknowledged as the best toy boat collection in America and rivals the finest of known antique boat collections in Europe,” said Jeanne Bertoia. The collection was documented in Claus’ 2005 reference book The Allure of Toy Ships: American & European Nautical Toys from the 19th and 20th Centuries. “In his book, Dick showcased his encyclopedic knowledge of antique toy boats alongside his spectacular collection,” Bertoia said. Antique toy boats from the Richard T. Claus collection are lin- “In order to present a coming up for a two-part 2012 auction series at Bertoia’s in plete and unbroken timeline Vineland, New Jersey.

of toy boat history for other collectors to enjoy, Dick even sought out those few examples he did not already own. All of the boats in his collection will be included in the auction series. None will be held back.” Bertoia Auctions associate Richard Bertoia explained that the collection is being sold in two auction sessions, several months apart, because of the high value of many of the boats. “This enormous and highly important collection contains the crème de la crème of Marklin, Bing, Carette and other premier European manufacturers. Dividing the collection into two parts will benefit collectors, the consignor and the hobby,” he said. Complete information on the auction of the Claus collection will be available soon on Bertoia Auctions’ website, www.bertoiaauctions.com.

All four pieces were richly chased and embossed with rocaille work and a marine motif that included seaweed, tritons, seahorses and mermaids. After the auction, Morphy received several calls from silver aficionados who told him that the candlesticks had outperformed an identical single example that had appeared in a highprofile auction last year. “Apparently one candelabrum exactly like those in our auction sold for around $20,000 at one of the big New York auction houses several months ago. They’re obviously much more desirable as a pair.” Another outstanding lot in the silver section was From a superb selection of extensively chased and embossed Tiffany & Co. silver, a pair of circa-1882 nine-light candelabra the 1899 Gorham with triton, seahorse and mermaid motif, $111,600; and a pair of silver martele (hammered) water pitcher circa-1882 center bowls, $134,400.

Antiques & Auction News — March 23, 2012 - - 15

Gar th’s First Sale Of 2012 Tops $1.2 Million And Drives Optimism For The New Year “This is a retail sale…I can’t buy anything” was the lament of one dealer who competed for some of the 1067 lots of firearms, bladed weapons, furniture, folk art, ceramics, fine art and more offered by Garth’s Auctioneers & Appraisers during its opening sale of 2012. Held in January, the auction grossed over $1.2 million and proved to be one of the more exciting sales in recent years thanks to the firearms collection of the late Stephen H. Romanoff of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and the Americana collection of Carl and Joyce Mueller of Tallmadge, Ohio. Fueled by the unseasonably warm weather and the need to “get back to it” after the holidays, standing-room-only crowds bid happily and quite aggressively throughout the two-day event. Over 1,500 bidders registered in-house and online submitting more than 4,200

show in Wilmington, Ohio, it was obvious that lot one set things off with a bang. A Winchester .44 caliber “Yellow Boy” Model 1866 lever-action rifle sold well above its estimate of $2,500 to $3,500 for $7,638. Fifteen of the subsequent nineteen lots also sold above the high estimates (the other four sold within estimate), indicating a

buying crowd. Thirty-two additional Winchester leveraction rifles sold with some in the $850 to $1,200 range, but most selling for $1,500 to $3,000. A particularly nice deluxe 1873, second model example was .44-40 caliber with a 28-inch blued octagonal barrel, set trigger, and checkered curly walnut stock. Accompanied by a letter from

the Winchester Arms Museum (dated 1985) indicating that this rifle was shipped from the warehouse on November 23, 1881, the rifle, which sold for $8,519, was from the estate of John Woods Rich of Woolrich, Pennsylvania - the original owner. The top lot of the (Continued on page 16)

A LDERFER A UCTION The “Double-W” version of the Winchester Model 1897 cartridge board has two hundred twenty-six items affixed to it including nine containers of caps, twenty shotgun shells, and one hundred ninety-seven rifle and revolver cartridges. Found in Medina, Ohio, and mounted in its original oak frame, the 40inch high, 57-1/2-inch wide, almost doubled its low estimate selling for $18,800.

online bids contributing to nearly 10,000 total absentee bids throughout the weekend. Garth’s position in the firearms marketplace continues to grow with three sales in the last five months featuring outstanding firearms collections. Ninetyeight percent of the lots in the gun auction had an online bid resulting in a

demand from the Internet, which was almost $1 million in bids on the guns alone. This sale featured part two of the Romanoff collection and garnered bids totaling $479,975. This session was almost a mirror image in terms of lot counts and value as the first Romanoff session (offered in October 2011) which grossed over $549,000. Capitalizing on the early 10 a.m start on Friday to accommodate those traveling to set-up or attend the Ohio Gun Collectors Association

Engraved brass frames and mother of pearl grips contributed to the hammer price of this cased Smith and Wesson Model No. 1 revolver. Sold via phone bid to a member of the trade the seven-shot example with the original gutta percha case with high relief-molded revolver on the top made $9,400.

GARTH’S The top lot of the firearms session was the Winchester Model 1897 cartridge board. This “Double-W” version had two hundred twenty-six caps, shells and cartridges affixed to the board. Retaining the factory label, as well as “No. 635” stenciled on verso, the piece pushed beyond the $10,000 to $15,000 estimate and sold for $18,800 after a quick battle among several bidders in the gallery. Two lots tied for the next best price achieved. Lot 97 - a rare, cased pair of Belgian pinfire revolvers belonging to General Benjamin Brice (1809-1892), who was credited with modernizing military pay in the later years of the Civil War, sold for $9,400 to a bidder in the room who had to fend off several active online bidders as well as a few in the gallery. The other lot selling for $9,400 was an ID’d New Haven volcanic lever-action repeating pistol. A .44-70 caliber

A plaster bust of Thomas Jefferson after Jean-Antoin Houdon (French, 1741-1828) - was estimated at $2,000 to $4,000 and identified as one of only a small number of plaster versions of Houdon’s bust extant. Among those is an example now in the collection at Monticello. As such, the demand was great with almost the entire Garth’s staff manning phone lines, each with a bidder in pursuit. The bust eventually sold to one of those phone bidders for $6,463. In the catalog and in the Mueller’s home, the Jefferson bust sat atop a fine Chippendale chest. The curly maple and poplar Pennsylvania chest performed well selling for $9,400. It was also a good day for Chippendale candlestands.

Every three-year-old girl’s wish for a doll may not have included it being fashioned from a wooden bed post, but in this instance the dad who made it in the 19th century struck a chord with present day collectors. The doll - now folk art figure stunned the audience selling for $11,750 (at right). The figure of a woman shown beside it was found in Au Gres by an American Indian. It also compelled aggressive bidding making $1,116 against an estimate of $300 to $600.

Mild Day In February Brought Hot Prices At Regional Firearms Auction While the Illinois weather outside was unusually mild for the middle of February, inside, Rock Island Auction Companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s auction floor was hot with action as their Regional Firearms sale was being

conducted. The February 18th and 19th auction filled Rock Islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 300 plus seat, auction hall with potential bidders. Auctioneer Kevin Hogan chuckled just before the auction started stating, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we had expected this many people, we would have built it even bigger, or at least torn down a wall or two.â&#x20AC;? The massive onsite crowd, record setting 13,500 plus sealed bids, and over 30 phone bidders brought the prices realized to a more than $3.3 million, a stunning $1.3 million over the pre-

auction estimate, and a new record for a Regional Auction. The tone of the auction was set from the very beginning with Lot 1, a

Henry Lever Action rifle, estimated from $9,000 to $16,000 realizing $19,550. Winchesters were in high demand all weekend, with both an 1886 Lever Action rifle in 50 Express, and an 1866 Lever Action rifle

selling for $6,900, respectively. A Model 21 Tournament Skeet grade side-by-side double barrel shotgun sold for $5,175. Winchesters were far

from the only lots to gather interest. A Colt Flattop Target Bisley revolver, in scarce 32 Colt caliber, rang the bell at $5,462. A first model Colt Dragoon and an antique Colt single action rounded out the top Colt lots, each selling for $5,750. A Parker Brothers Model DHE grade 3 sideby-side shotgun brought an impressive $3,450; and a Sauer & Son side-by-side rifle sold for $ 5 , 1 7 5 . German military items received some of the most heated bidding of the auction. The biggest surprise was a lot of four German field coats and four helmets. The lot opened up at $1,200 and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop until

the hammer dropped at $34,500, stealing the show! RIACâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next auction is set to be their finest ever.
