Below please find a very basic guide to Van Briggle glazes, and know that there are wide variants within every color and group.

 

The pottery's signature glazes were a product of both inspiration and experimentation. Artus Van Briggle, captivated by historical glazes, drew influence from Chinese Ming Dynasty ceramics. Early glazes achieved a unique look through layering and techniques like dipping and spraying.

 

The Van Briggle company also actively created new colors, with experimentation evident in the introduction and reintroduction of different glazes throughout the years. This dedication to both tradition and innovation remains a hallmark of Van Briggle's beautiful glazes.
