Label TextAlthough Artus Van Briggle was a talented painter who had displayed and won awards in Europe, from 1899 until his death Artus devoted himself almost exclusively to the craft and art of pottery. Van Briggle's Art Nouveau designs and distinctive matte glazes were awarded high honors from prestigious sources, including the Paris Salon, the Saint Louis Exposition, the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition, and the American Arts and Crafts Exhibition in Boston. After her husband's death in 1904, Anne continued to run the pottery and built a new factory in her husband's honor. In 1922 she sold the firm, and it officially closed in 2012. Potters who worked at Van Briggle included Iowan Nellie Verne Walker (1874–1973), who became a noted American sculptor including creating the two bas relief panels on the exterior of the Iowa State University Library.
