Shaped like a fanned-out marine shell, the tray spirals outward from a tight, hollowed core into wide, tiered ridges that mimic natural chamber structures. It features a rich, glossy Mocha brown base coat accentuated by a frothy, multi-tonal green and chartreuse drip glaze flowing down each segment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTHE STORY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEstablished in Colorado Springs, Colorado, in 1901 by Art Nouveau artist Artus Van Briggle and his wife Anne (Lawrence) Van Briggle, the Van Briggle Pottery company is one of the oldest and most celebrated names in American art pottery history. Renowned for its matte glazes and organic, nature-inspired forms, the pottery evolved over the decades. The \"Anna Van Briggle\" line was introduced in the mid-20th century (predominantly during the 1950s and 1960s) to showcase glossier, more experimental drip and flow glazes that perfectly captured the mid-century modern aesthetic while honoring the studio's traditional pottery roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTHE DETAILS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand \/ Creator:\u003c\/strong\u003e Van Briggle Art Pottery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA (\"Colo.
