Van Briggle Art Pottery - By: Collectibles-Museums.com, 2009-02-18

Artus Van Briggle, a potter and artist, came to Colorado Springs in 1899 and began to experiment with the clays of the area. He was a master at blending clay and glaze and turning it into works of art. He also had the artist’s grasp of form, design, and color. All his pieces have a soft-toned glaze and the colors are the colors of Colorado—turquoises, greens, roses, browns, and purples.
