  • c1920's Boy Scouts of America Troop 29 Wilmington DE - Estate Fresh Austin

    c1920's Boy Scouts of America Troop 29 Wilmington DE

    1 en stock

    c1920's Boy Scouts of America Troop 29 Wilmington DE. Rare one of a kind Boy scout sign from the first half of the 20th century. 11.5" tall x 8.25" wide without hanger. The hanger has a 29 stamped in the copper and 29 is scratched twice on the back. It has two holes in the bottom of the sign where another sign likely hung below it probably saying "troop 29" This was found by me in Austin, Texas fresh from an Estate but the clues lead me to believe it's from Troop 29 Wilmington DE which was founded in 1919 but closed in 1920 then later opened in 1928. The patina and a lifetime in this business lead me to believe it's either from right at 1919 or 1928, I'm not going to guess which one but I'm 100% sure it's a very old item 80+ years old. Natural expected wear. TW68

    c1920's Van Briggle Elephant Paperweight in Blue Matte. No cracks, chips, or restorations, overall crazing with no stains. 3.5" long x 2.5" tall. tw122 Van Briggle Art Pottery was at the time of its demise the oldest continuously operating art pottery in the United States, having been established in Colorado Springs, Colorado in 1901 by Artus and Anne Van Briggle. Artus had a significant impact on the Art Nouveau movement in the United States, and his pottery is foundational to American Art Pottery. The Art Nouveau style favored by its founders continues to influence the pottery's designs. Artus Van Briggle settled in Colorado Springs in 1899 after establishing himself as a notable artist with the Rookwood Pottery of Ohio. With Anne Louise (née Gregory), his new wife, Artus began exploring the Art Nouveau style in their pottery creations, drawing awards and accolades from the American and European art communities. Although he was a talented painter who had displayed and won awards in Europe, from 1899 until his death Artus devoted himself almost exclusively to the craft and art of pottery. Van Briggle's Art Nouveau designs and distinctive matte glazes were awarded high honors from prestigious sources, including the Paris Salon, the Saint Louis Exposition, the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition, and the American Arts and Crafts Exhibition in Boston. The Van Briggle Pottery Studio closed in spring 2012 Artus Van Briggle in 1900. Born to artistic parents on March 21, 1869, Artus Van Briggle had an early introduction to painting using materials found about the home. The Van Briggle family lived in Ohio, one of America's hotbeds of ceramic design. At the age of 17 he moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, where he decorated china dolls at the Arnold Fairyland Doll Store, while attending his early art studies at the Cincinnati Art School. After a stint at the Avon Pottery where he was introduced to the ceramic arts, Artus took a job at Rookwood Pottery; there he excelled at hand-painting designs. His skill and talent were recognized by Rookwood founder, Maria Storer, who became his benefactor, even sending him to France to study art at the Académie Julian in Paris. In Europe, he was exposed to styles of art and became infatuated with an early matte glaze from the Chinese Ming Dynasty; a type that was lost to history. Artus also met his future wife, fellow American student Anne Lawrence Gregory, an accomplished artist in her own right. Finishing their Paris studies in 1896, they returned to America. Artus resumed his work at Rookwood and also started sculpting and experimented with recreating the lost Ming Dynasty glazes. Perfecting the distinctive dull or matte glaze In 1899, struggling with health issues due to tuberculosis, Artus left Rookwood and moved to the drier air of Colorado Springs, Colorado. Upon befriending the Holmes family of Chico Basin, he stayed at the HOP Ranch during the summers of 1899, 1900, and 1901 to reduce work stress and regain strength while pursuing his own styles of pottery, centered around the Art Nouveau movement. He continued his research on the ancient matte glazes that fascinated him in Paris. After two years of trials and experiments a matte glaze was perfected. One of the matte glazes perfected by Artus was the matte blue glaze, based on an ancient Chinese process that had long been lost to history. Artus opened Van Briggle Pottery in 1901 and was joined by Anne Gregory, who took a position as a high school art teacher in Colorado Springs. In 1903, Artus Van Briggle was appointed First Director of the Department of Art and Design in Colorado College, succeeding Louis Soutter, a Swiss artist (born in Geneva, Switzerland) he met in Paris in 1895. In 1902, Anne and Artus were married, and she devoted herself to their pottery; she created designs and collaborated in all aspects of the enterprise with her husband. Late 1902 brought Van Briggle awards for his glazes and designs in Art Nouveau from the prestigious Paris Salon; he was now an accepted artist. During their early years, Artus and Ann established hundreds of Art Nouveau styles of pottery under the Van Briggle name. The Despondency vase won Van Briggle wide acclaim and first place at the Paris Salon in 1903. A display at the 1904 Centennial Exhibit in St. Louis won Van Briggle more awards and greater international fame. Van Briggle Memorial Pottery Pottery loses its founder Artus Van Briggle died in July 1904, at the age of 35. Anne continued the pottery using the forms created by Artus as a foundation and adding more designs of her own. In 1907, Anne and pottery stockholder and city-founder William Jackson Palmer began construction on a new pottery on Uintah Street. The Van Briggle Memorial Pottery — designed by Dutch architect Nicholas Van den Arend — was opened in 1908 and stands today as an historic landmark noted for its architecture and use of ceramics in the facade. Having remarried in 1908, Anne Louise Gregory Ritter leased the pottery in 1912 to Edmund deForest Curtis, who ran it until 1916. She sold the company in 1922 to J.F. and I.H. Lewis and moved to Denver the following year, where she would concentrate on painting and where she remained until her death in 1929. In her absence, the pottery fell under financial hardships and was sold at sheriff's auction; later it was re-sold, once more becoming the property of Mr. Curtis. Surviving disaster and war The pottery was sold twice more in the ensuing decade and survived a fire in 1919 that gutted the interior but left the brick shell and kilns. New owners I.F. and J.H. Lewis took the opportunity to modernize and expand the facility beginning in 1920 and stabilized the production and financial aspects of the pottery for the first time. Despite damage from the flood of 1935—the most destructive flood in Colorado Springs history — that destroyed much of the company's records and molds, the pottery continued to enjoy success up to World War II, when they closed for approximately three years as the United States focused its resources on the war effort. With the increase of interstate travel in the United States a freeway was planned in 1953 for Colorado Springs which J.H. Lewis estimated would run through the Memorial Plant site. Although the freeway eventually was planned to avoid destroying the historic pottery, Mr. Lewis nonetheless put into action plans to relocate the pottery to a higher-traffic area of Colorado Springs. In 1955, Mr. Lewis and Clem Hull brought a new facility on line at a renovated railroad roundhouse on Midland Road. The new facility, known as the Midland Plant, had a smaller capacity but enjoyed quick success due to its location on the main highway to the Garden of the Gods and other tourist locations. In 1968, Mr. Lewis sold the Memorial Plant to Colorado College, and it fell into disrepair for the ensuing 40 years, being used variously as offices and storage.

    c1930 Fulper Pelican Flower Frog.. 7" tall with no cracks, chips, or<br>restorations, crazing in a few places.<br><br>tw163<br><br>The Fulper Pottery Company was founded in Flemington, New Jersey in 1899 by<br>Charles Fulper and his sons. However, the pottery had existed since 1815 when<br>the first pottery was created by Samuel Hill. The pottery initially produced a<br>wide variety of utilitarian ware, and drain tiles and storage crocks and jars<br>from Flemington’s red earthenware clay. In 1847 Dutchman Abraham Fulper, an<br>employee since the 1820s became Hill’s partner. He later took over the company.<br><br>It was not until the early 1900s when William Hill Fulper II (1870-1953) started<br>to experiment with colored glazes and the company started to create some of the<br>art pottery it is famed for. Fulper is credited with inventing the dry-body slip<br>glaze, which was used to create colorful designs on his pottery. He also<br>developed a method of using electric kilns to fire his glazes, which resulted in<br>brighter and more consistent colors.<br><br>Fulper Pottery’s Vasekraft line was inspired by the work of German potter John<br>Martin Strangl. The line includes a wide variety of vases, bowls, and other<br>vessels, all with Strangl’s signature clean lines and simple forms.<br><br>The company is especially known for the Fulper lamps-with glazed pottery shades<br>inset with colored glass-were truly innovative forms. The firm’s most<br>spectacular and innovative accomplishments are the table lamps made with glazed<br>pottery bases and shades, which were inset with pieces of colored opalescent<br>glass. These were produced from about 1910-1915 and are very rare, especially in<br>perfect order.<br><br>William Hill Fulper II was also an excellent advertiser and marketeer and<br>Fulper’s Vasekraft products were sold throughout the United States in the most<br>prestigious department stores and gift shops. Fulper’s pottery was exhibited at<br>the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco, where it<br>received a gold medal. His work is also included in the collections of the<br>Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Smithsonian Institution, and the Philadelphia<br>Museum of Art.<br><br>During its first twenty-five years, Fulper Pottery was particularly known for<br>its flambé glazes, which were heavily influenced by Chinese and Japanese ceramic<br>traditions. These glazes, which resulted in vibrant and often unexpected colors,<br>helped to establish Fulper Pottery’s reputation for innovative and high-quality<br>art pottery.<br><br>After World War I, Fulper Pottery began to shift away from its Germanic roots<br>and move towards more Oriental-inspired forms. The company’s designers began to<br>experiment with new shapes and glazes, inspired by the Art Deco movement that<br>was sweeping Europe at the time. The Vasekraft name was changed to Fulper<br>Pottery Artware. These new pieces were softer and more graceful than the<br>functional stoneware that Fulper had been producing up until that point, and<br>they proved to be very popular with the public.<br><br>In the 1920s, Fulper Pottery was one of the leading producers of Art Deco<br>ceramics in the United States. The company’s designers created a wide range of<br>vases, lamps, and other objects that were both beautiful and stylish. Fulper’s<br>pieces were featured in some of the most prestigious design magazines of the<br>day, and they were popular with both collectors and everyday consumers.<br><br>In 1925, Charles Fulper died, and his sons took over the operation of the<br>pottery. Under their leadership, Fulper Pottery continued to experiment with new<br>glazes and firing techniques. They also began to produce a line of dinnerware,<br>which was very popular during the Depression-era.<br><br>The Great Depression hit Fulper Pottery hard, as it did many other businesses.<br>The company was forced to lay off a large number of employees and cut back on<br>production. However, Fulper’s designers continued to experiment with new ideas,<br>and the company managed to survive the difficult economic times.<br><br><br>William Hill Fulper II died suddenly in 1928. The company continued to be run<br>with Martin Stangl as President. In 1935, Fulper Pottery Artware production was<br>ceased at the small remaining Flemington location, and that building was<br>utilized solely as a retail showroom for the company’s ceramic products. After<br>1935, the company continued to be Fulper Pottery, but produced only Stangl<br>Pottery brand dinnerware and artware.

    c1930‘s William Spratling tin milk pitcher/creamer. No holes or breaks, a few small dents shown. 4 7/8" tall to top of handle, 5 3/8" wide handle to spout. LRshelf William Spratling was born in 1900 in Sonyea, New York. His father was well respected and widely known for his study and writings concerning epilepsy. After the death of both Spratling‘s mother and sister, Wilhelmina, in 1910, Spratling‘s father moved temporarily to his father‘s Alabama home (known as Roamer‘s Roost) with sons William and David as well as older daughter, Lucile. At that time, the three Spratling children became wards of their grandfather. By the end of 1912, the family had moved once more and the children were separated; each went to live with with various aunts and uncles. In 1917 William Spratling attended Auburn University and a year or two later, during his stay at Auburn served as an instructor in architecture. Spratling moved to New Orleans in 1921 where he was an Associate Professor of Architecture at Tulane University. During the following nine years, Spratling published articles in Scribners Magazine, Journal of the A.I.A., Architecture Record, and many other architecture and travel publications. He became an active part of the New Orleans literary colony during those years, and his frequent companions were Natalie Scott, Sherwood Anderson, Oliver La Farge, Frans Blom, John Dos Passos and William Faulkner. Faulkner lived with Spratling for a time, and together they wrote and published Sherwood Anderson and Other Famous Creoles in 1926. 1926 was also when Spratling visited Mexico for the first time. He returned for summers over the next several years, and in 1929, moved to Mexico. Spratling quickly was introduced to and became a welcome participant in the artistic circles of Mexico. His activities in promoting the art of Diego Rivera among New York galleries led to his participation in the first exhibition of Mexican arts held in the United States. The exhibit was funded by the Carnegie Institute and opened at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Spratling assisted in assembling the exhibit and also lent a number of his own pieces. During this same period, Spratling was working on drawings for the expanding Morrow home in Cuernavaca. Many of these drawings were included in the book written by Elizabeth Morrow, Casa Mañana. Dwight Morrow, the US Ambassador to Mexico, suggested to Spratling in 1931 that Taxco had been the site of silver mines for centuries, but Taxco had never been considered a location where jewelry and objects of silver were designed and made. Subsequently, Spratling hired an experienced goldsmith from Iguala who moved to Taxco and created silver jewelry of Spratlings design. Other craftsmen joined Spratling‘s shop and produced tin ware, copper items, textiles and furniture - all designed by Spratling. These earliest designs were based on pre-Columbian motifs as well as simple themes utilizing rope borders, strap designs and other such basic ideas. The enterprise grew far beyond Spratlings expectations! Because he had created an apprentice system of training young silversmiths many new talented artisans had an opportunity to develop their craft. Over time many of these artisans opened shops of their own all with Spratlings support. During the Second World War, U.S. department stores were unable to import merchandise from Europe, and many retail stores purchased luxury goods in Mexico. In order to meet this dramatic increase in demand, Spratling opened his company to private investors, and by the end of 1944 had lost control of his company. Early in 1946, Spratling y Artesanos was out of business. By this time, Spratling had moved to a ranch he had earlier purchased south of Taxco at Taxco-el-Viejo. He never again lived within the town of Taxco. In 1946, he was asked by the U.S. Department of the Interior to develop a plan for development of native crafts in Alaska, and in 1949, a group of 7 young men from Alaska arrived at Spratling‘s ranch at Taxco-el-Viejo and began their training. Spratling had designed and produced 200 models for that effort, but after the men completed their training and returned to Alaska, the program languished primarily due to lack of government funding. The actual benefits of the program (both for Alaskans and for Spratling) were never realized. The time, however, that Spratling spent studying Alaskan native cultures and visiting all parts of Alaska created great impact as seen in Spratling‘s later silver designs. His design ethic in 1949 was dramatically different from those designs of the 1930s until mid 1940. He also used new materials in combination with silver for many of these later designs. Spratling continued to rebuild his business and had silversmiths fabricating his jewelry and object designs at his ranch. His designs were also produced by the Conquistador Company in Mexico City for a couple of years. Spratling published More Human Than Divine in 1960 and his archaeological interests not only continued but by the early 1960s seemed to take precedence over the creation of new silver designs. He donated collections of his pre-Columbian materials to the National University of Mexico and the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City. Spratling has been called by many "a Renaissance Man." Throughout Mexico he is acknowledged as "The Father of Mexican Silver." Certainly the town of Taxco and its economy would be vastly different without the initiative and creativity of this man. He complemented its valuable historic past with a new vitality and spirit which recognized the importance of the indigenous culture. The artistic and economic foundation he established continues to flourish today.
