VAN BRIGGLE Exceptional, early and tall two-handled tapering vase with hand-applied bronze overlay of stylized mistletoe, on an olive green feathered ground, 1904. (Our understanding is that these were done by his Rookwood days associate Yosakichi Asano for the 1904 St. Louis Exposition. We have had several examples with bronze bases. This is only the second piece we"ve seen where the applied bronze is integrated into the design of the vase. The fingerprints on the bronze work are a nice touch, too.) AA VAN BRIGGLE 1904 III 231. 11" x 4 1/2"
