    I've had this for quite awhile...an' thought I had posted it here. But a search says not, so here it is. I really want to believe it's good, even though VB doesn't bring much currently. I got it more for the color than anything else. ~5 1/2" high, ~4 1/2" diameter, ~25 ounces.

    There's a lot of good detail on the base, but I have no clue how to interpret it for age or authenticity. I'm hoping for clarification from more knowledgable folks. Thanks for lookin'!

    Obviously packed away since it was bought

    I doubt anyone ever faked Van Briggle

    Looks right. The "Original" vases were often hand thrown by their potters during factory tours for the public.

    Thank you, all!
    Is the XVI to the left of the Logo a glazers mark...or has it another significance?

    I did not research that. It could be a color number or maybe the artist marked how many she made in this style. You would need to find another example to see if number changes.

    PS: What I saw as a number XVI, could be initials WI.

    I like the color; I rarely see Van Briggle here. Hope I'd know it if I found some.
