Description: Rare Cripple Creek Gold Ore Glaze in Scarce MCM Van Briggle Tulip Form Vase, c. 1956 A Scarce Mid-Century Modern Van Briggle Tulip Form Vase #19 in a Rare ‘Cripple Creek’ Gold Ore Glaze, circa 1956. In Scott Nelson’s book, A Collector’s Guide to Van Briggle Pottery, he states , “In 1956, a glaze containing powdered gold ore from Cripple Creek [Colorado] mines was produced for about three months. The pieces, made in the Midland Terminal Roundhouse location, are characterized by a cinnamon-colored, gold speckled high glaze, and are marked w/a circled G or Gold Ore Glaze.” The tulip-shaped vase measures 4” in diameter by 4” tall. There are NO flaws, chips, cracks, or repairs to this hard-to-find Van Briggle Tulip Vase #19. The gold flecked vase tends to change appearance under different lighting conditions, as evidenced in my pics. Under normal lighting conditions the its appearance is much more subtle. The Overall Condition, commensurate with its age of 68+ yrs and it’s use over that time, is VG++. Being offered here at a reasonable “Buy It Now” price….. or simply ‘Make An Offer’! All offers will be seriously considered!Thanks for looking – and keep checking back for more quality antiques, vintage collectibles, and other cool stuff!! About Me: I previously owned & operated a beautiful antique shop that specialized in antique/vintage estate jewelry, quality lamps & lighting, along with a variety of other unique, high-quality antiques from the late 1800's thru the 1950's. Items offered here are either from my former shop, or from my personal collection. I am also a charter member of eBay (when eBay was formerly known as AuctionWeb), being an avid buyer and seller of quality antiques since 1997. Starting to downsize with hopes of moving soon; and my hubby says it can’t all come with us! So, here's your chance to get quality items at a great price – and everything is negotiable!
