Design: #839
Date Designed: 1910
Designer: unknown
Description: Vase has panels dividing the lower portion; with flowers & petals between the panels around the top neck of the vase. The design is covered in a Light Teal-colored Glaze, which is lovely pooled in the low points of the design; and the light color clay showing through the glaze on the high points of the design. Bottom markings include an incised Double-A, Van Briggle, Colo. Spgs., Design #839, and etcher/finisher marks on both sides of the Double-A. These markings were in use from 1910, the date of this design production, throughout the early half of 1912.
Dimensions: The vase is 5 1/4″ height, 4″ width at the shoulder, and 2 1/8″ diameter at the base.
Other: The #18 inscribed on the left side of the Double-A logo has been attributed to J. Emma Kinkead, as her own recollection of her etcher mark. She was a meticulous etcher and also designer. It was the creative etching job that allowed for the pooling of the glaze around the design.
