Description

This is a Van Briggle elephant paperweight, the manufacturer's mark indicating it was created in 1920. He is a lovely shade of mulberry with blue ears, the blue color covering a large amount of the ear area. The paperweight is in excellent condition, as shown in the photos. Please examine the photos closely, they are part of the description. If you would like more information or photos, please let me know. ' Starting with the late teens and continuing into the early 1920s, Van Briggle Pottery that was not dated was typically marked with the logo and VAN BRIGGLE in either all caps or script. A common characteristic of the pottery produced during this period is a darker clay bottom (often referred to as a dirty bottom) and bottoms with glaze streaks and residue. Many 1920 examples of Van Briggle Pottery are marked only with the logo, and 20 signifying 1920.'
