Maker: Grueby Faience Company, American, 1894-1909Vase with geese Design dates to 1900; 1902 Designed by Artus Van Briggle Artus Van Briggle began his career in ceramics at the Rookwood Pottery, but because of respiratory issues, moved to Colorado, where, with his wife Anna Van Briggle, he established his own pottery in Colorado Springs in 1901. The Van Briggles and some other designers produced models from which molds were made, and the vases were then slip-cast in multiple forms. They were particularly noteworthy for their glazes in satiny soft textures in unusual colors, sometimes one or more combine on a single piece. Like many American artists, Artus Van Briggle had traveled to and studied in Paris in the late 1890s and was much influenced by not only the artistic ceramics he saw there, but much of the French art that was on exhibition. Van Briggles early work often exhibits the stylistic characteristics of the Art Nouveau, especially in the sinuous curves of the stems on his floral-decorative vases. Although most of the Van BriCovered Box. Culture: American. Designer: Designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany (American, New York 1848-1933 New York). Dimensions: H. 1 15/16 in. (4.9 cm). Maker: Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company (American, 1892-1902). Date: 1898-1902.This object forms part of a group of glass vessels and enamel containers Louis Comfort Tiffany loaned to the Museum in 1925 that were later given to the Museum by the Tiffany Foundation in 1951 (51.121.1-.44). Tiffany originally chose this group of objects to show examples of form, technique, and color that were not represented in the 1896 Havemeyer gift (96.17.9-.56). A departure from Tiffany's typical enamelwork, this diminutive covered box features highly stylized leaf motifs in a limited palette that is more closely related to that of cloisonné.

The potter coated the dark clay ground of this jar in a white slip, providing a light background for painting. The trunks of the stylized pine trees were painted in almost calligraphic strokes, while the leafy tops seem almost like puffs of clouds.The style is that of Ogata Kenzan (1663-1743), though this jar was probably produced by one of his followers. Kenzan was an amateur painter and potter active in the Edo period, and was known for his painterly, decorative wares.. Water Jar (Mizusashi) with Pine Trees 52514Globular Jar 1662-1722 China.
