Jack Straw - ArticlesThe History of Van Briggle Art PotteryArtus 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. Haviland China CollectingA man came into his shop with a broken cup that he wanted to replace. The cup was so exquisite that he knew he was handling an entirely different thing from the china he had been importing from England. He knew right away that it was from France, but he was curious about what part of France it had come from. What French potteries were creating this wondrous china? Duncan-Miller Glass SwansWhile there are many Duncan-Miller designs that are prized by collectors such as the lovely patterned glass baskets, what most people think of when they think of Duncan is the swan. Other companies were making swans, but the Duncan version stands out. The swans were made in various patterns, but the gracefully curved neck distinguishes these from all other glass swans. Heisey Glassware CollectingIn 1900, the Heisey trademark that makes pieces so easy for collectors to identify, the H encased in a diamond figure, began to be applied to the pressed glass. You can put your finger into the piece and feel the mark with your finger. Beware, however, some pieces are not so marked. For example, the pieces that were blown, some of the most valuable ones, are not marked in this way. Fostoria Glassware CollectingEarly on, Fostoria joined all the other glass companies in producing pressed glass. Before long, the shift was made to high quality stemware that was blown. The glass made from the years 1910 to 1924 is high quality and if you can find some of those early pieces, they are valuable.
