Vase
This vase is molded with irises and covered in a green-purple glaze that changes from purple at the bottom to green at the top. Artus Van Briggle died in 1904, but his wife Anne Gregory Van Briggle continued to oversee the pottery. This vase reflects the influence of the Art Nouveau on Van Briggle's pieces in its sculptural shape and use of flowers. For other examples by the Van Briggle Pottery, see 67.84.2, 69.190. For an example of Artus Van Briggle's work while he was employed at the Rookwood Pottery, see L.1984.132.
