Buy Van Briggle Pottery
There are multiple venues to pursue in expanding your Van Briggle pottery collection. There is the option of buying directly from the Van Briggle website, where you can get the most recent pieces of art offered. You can find coveted Van Briggle vases and other pieces on Ebay, often for great prices. As you become more and more familiar with how to quickly identify a Van Briggle piece of pottery, you may even stumble across a hidden treasure at a garage sale or estate sale.
Buying Van Briggle pottery secondhand from a garage sale or estate sale will be one of the most exciting experiences you can have as you expand your collection. You have the hunt of searching through boxes, on top of tables, and items scattered through an estate. You carefully pick up your piece of primitive pottery with that dull matte finish and look under the bottom. You notice a large V, followed by the rest of that telltale Van Briggle signing. Perhaps you will even find an original cast, signed by the potter himself!
Reader Comments
“Local estate sales are an excellent venue for buying Van Briggle pottery. The key to estate sales is getting on each estate liquidator’s mailing list so you know about the sales in advance. Many of these liquidators provide photos with their email so you can often see what’s available so you can make a decision as to whether or not to attend the sale. If you do spot a piece you must have, make sure you arrive at least a couple of hours before the sale starts so you can be at, or near, the front of the line. A Google search on the keywords “‘your city’ estate liquidators” should provide the websites for the liquidators in your local area. When you attend these sales make sure you introduce yourself to the person in charge and let them know you are a Van Briggle collector as they’ll often make an extra effort to let you know when pieces come available.” — Steve Topper, November 24, 2010
