RESPONSES: (09/27/05) Hello Bob and Kitty, This email is pertaining to the Mystery Vase you posted on the American Art Pottery Association website. The vase is an outstanding and exceptional piece! To my knowledge and what I believe is that this vase could be an unmarked and experimental piece by Van Briggle Pottery but I am not an expert. There are unmarked Van Briggle pieces that definitely exist. This particular piece looks similar to the Anna Van Vase and it does have some different designs that make it unique. For instance, the head on the figural piece is tilting back as opposed to being forward. Also, the very detailed leaves are sculpted and extend out from the vase as opposed to being formed directly into the vase. Finally, the size is odd and I have seen the Anna Vase in 17 inches and 16 1/2 inches. As for the color it looks very early and is shaded different than the vases I have seen. The Anna Van vase has been made since the mid 1920's and I believe it is still available today. Hope this information is useful. Joseph R. Shaffer |

RESPONSES: (10/21/05) Will, I was looking at the web site and decided to look at the mystery pots and I do recognize your pot. This is Brush McCoy and was produced in the Roseville/Zanesville area in the late teens or early twenties. You can find an example in Sanfords Guide to Brush McCoy Pottery Book I. Martha Sanford |
