Torborg Lindberg-Carlsson (1908-1980) and other carved wood figures. Tallest 6 7/8", it's the TL figure, the other two I believe are European but not totally sure of carver or even the Country they were made. All approximately the same era. One appears to be signed LL on the base. Selling all three with no issuesTL 1908 - 1980 Torborg Lindberg-Carlsson from Storbäck in Dorotea, Västerbotten. Torborg was born in Högland and then moved at the age of 4 to Röttanberg in Vilhelmina. Torborg found his home in Storbäck. Her creations mainly resulted in the production of smaller statuettes connected to Sami culture. The attention she attracted also led to church decorations in, among others, Ormsjö, Högland's chapel and Risbäck church. At first she carved in aspen, but after a while she switched to Al, which was the material she mainly used, she bought the wood home and let it dry, she had wood for several years lying around to dry.  She usually had a number of figures that were in production where she switched between the figures, on the tray where the figures were usually on the kitchen table where the production took place. Then the figures were painted with watercolor paint in the Southern Sami colors. On average, she carved 2-3 old men per day, which were sold to various customers, but the sales were interrupted until Hemslöjden, where she then received honorary degrees for her work.

Van Briggle Elephant Paperweight in Blue Matte. Great piece from the second quarter of the 20th century. No cracks, chips, or restorations, some 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.

This phenomenal owl sculpture was done by renowned art pottery, Van Briggle, in Colorado.   He stands about 9-1/2 inches tall, and was created in the very last part of the 80's, or very beginning of the 1990's, with a high probability of being made in 1989.   Dusty Rose was just starting to be used as a glaze, and very very few of these owls were made with this color glaze. There were a few rouge glazers who experimented with it before it became a mainstream glaze for Van Briggle, and this lucky guy was one of the few, and earliest pieces to use it!  He is clearly marked on the bottom:  His finisher was Clara Beyers, and his glazer was Helen Johnson, signified by the CB and the V incised in the base.  He is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, repairs, or crazing.  The color, dusty rose tinged with smoky blue, in my opinion, is what really makes this sculpture special...it's completely haunting and ethereal, and lends something to the whole attitude of the owl. If you love art pottery, you will want to add this spectacular piece to your collection!

Victor Coochwytewa Hopi Overlay silver pin. Weight and measurements in pics, solid sterling with no issues. Victor Coochwytewa (1922-2011) was one of three Native American elders chosen as Arizona Indian Living Treasures at the seventh annual AILTA award ceremony held in Phoenix in September 1994. This recognition is but one of the many accolades bestowed upon the Master Hopi Jeweler in a career spanning more than half a century. Born on June 7, 1922 at Shungopavi on Second Mesa in Northern Arizona, Victor is a member of the Waterhouse Clan. His earliest ventures in Hopi overlay jewelry began in 1940 under the tutelage of Paul Saufkie. After joining the Army during World War II, Victor found himself in the South Pacific. From the 167th Combat Military Police he transferred to the 5309th Infantry Division under General Merles Marauders and saw heavy combat action in the Burma area. Victor earned the Purple Heart, Good Conduct and Asiatic Ribbons. Victor Coochwytewa Discharged in 1946, he returned to the Hopi Mesas to become one of Paul Saufkies and Fred Kaboties first students in their jewelry-making classes that were just forming under the auspices of the G.I. Bill. What became known as the The Veterans Classes, provided opportunity for new beginnings. Victor brought to the table a unique dimension to the Hopi overlay jewelry technique that was being developed in those early days. Adapting a leather work method that he had learned, Victor began to texturize the background of his designs adding a subtle enhancement to the finished piece. This fine matting procedure remains signature to Hopi jewelry of today! Kopavi began a working relationship with Victor Coochwytewa in 1974. Proprietors Richard & Margo Mehagian, found friendship & inspiration from the well-spring of Victors designs that came from deep within him. With Kopavi providing silver and introducing gold & precious stones, Victor began to record in his jewelry what he experienced around him, elevating everyday Hopi life into jeweled art! In 1976 Kopavi opened in Sedona, Arizona, specializing in Hopi Gold & Silver presentingVictor Coochwytewas work along with other outstanding Hopi silversmiths. Despite winning top awards from the Heard Museum in Phoenix, as well as the Santa Fe Indian Market, the Gallup New Mexico Intertribal Ceremonial, and the Museum of Northern Arizona in Flagstaff as well as being featured in Arizona Highways and American Indian Art, Victor remains humble about his career. "Jewelry is my hobby; Corn is my work! Victor says with a twinkle in his eye. A dry-land farmer - he uses no irrigation, chemical fertilizers or pesticides, it is the Hopi Way. He works in his fields in the mornings and does his silversmithing in the afternoons. His dry farmed corn, squash, beans and watermelons have won as many honors as his jewelry A Hopi religious leader of the highest order who devotes as much time to religious ceremonials as he does to his farming and his jewelry, Victor attributes his good crops to blessings from the Creator. "Every year when I plant, I pray that the crops will be nourished with rain. When you pray, you should pray for all things, and in return, all things are benefited. Nothing can be accomplished without prayer" says this artist who is as proud of the multicolored corn drying in the sun on his rooftop as he is as of his jewelry that has found its way into prominent collections in this country and abroad. Victor retired from Hopi Silversmithing and his beloved farming in 2006. He continued living with his family at Hopi. Victor passed away at the age of 89 on July 3, 2011.

Some have tags identifying<br>them, some of the tags are missing or have been degraded over time.<br><br>Victoriano Salgado Morales: 1920 -2012 A prolific designer and maker of wooden,<br>maque, decorative masks used by dancers in Purépecha fiestas, one of Grand<br>Masters of Mexican Folk art and one of last skilled masters of this unique art<br>form. Mr. Salgado learned this skill from several mask makers of the Magdalena<br>neighborhood where he grew up. His first mask dates back to 1950 and it was a<br>"Negrito" folk dance mask. Victoriano's masks are not painted, the process used<br>for color is a highly superior technique called "maque", which is a pre-hispanic<br>process involving numerous applications of natural earth and insect pigments and<br>oils applied with the palm of the hand that hardens into a brilliant, lustrous<br>surface. Mr. Salgado created over 60 different masks, the most famous: dance of<br>the Señor Naranjo, and the dance of the Tataqueri, Corcovi, Negritos and<br>Viejitos. He passed away on September 2012 two weeks before receiving the<br>Erendira Award, The highest prize given by the Michoacan State Government.<br><br>I won't have time to discuss the character of each mask, but I'll make sure to<br>take good, accurate photos, and as stated you'll get the mask shown in the<br>condition shown, with approximate age stated. They will be safely stored until<br>sold so I won't really be able answer any specific questions, I'll give the<br>measurements of each one when listing. And I apologize in advance for my lack of<br>cultural awareness if I happen to call a central/south American mask a Mexican<br>mask.<br>It's just there are a lot of masks and very little time, and while I think each<br>and every one of them is absolutely fabulous or I wouldn't waste my time<br>photographing them....I would rather spend the time I could spend learning the<br>history of each character making sure they are packaged well enough to fall off<br>the truck, get ran over a few times...and still make it to you intact.<br>tw39

Vinatage Navajo silver and turquoise faux claw bolo tie. 40" long. <br><br>Marked or unmarked as shown in pics, weight and other measurements in pics. Sorry but my jewelry is stored in a secure location and cannot be accessed for more pictures,<br>videos, or measurements until sold. If you look at pictures/description your<br>question should be answered. Thank you so much for your time and consideration! If you would like to chat, that would be great, but lets chat about something that isn't answered in this listing that we put so much effort into already :)<br><br>All precious metals are tested and guaranteed. A Native American jewelry piece referred to as "silver" or "ingot" is guaranteed to be at least 90% silver. I rarely use the word "sterling" when referring to older Native American silver or really any older silver jewelry as silver contents vary and "sterling" is 92.5% silver. No older jewelry is going to be exactly 92.5% silver, some a little over, some a little under. It wasn't an exact thing with handmade jewelry. I've seen thousands of pieces xrf'd to prove this. Bracelets are photographed on a 6" women's wrist.
