History
Artus Van Briggle worked for the Rookwood Pottery at the end of the Nineteenth Century, but his health forced him to move West. He established the pottery in Colorado Springs in 1900, and his early work sold out quickly. The Van Briggle Pottery, now including his wife Anne, won awards at the Paris Exposition in 1903-4, shortly before Artus died. Anne continued the work of the Van Briggle Pottery for another eight years, before the pottery was leased to Edwin DeForest Curtis, the first of several owners in the Twentieth Century. Through fire, flood and economic downturns, the company continued to make tiles and art pottery, as it does today.
