I was traveling through Oregon and saw this at an antique store and bought it for my mom for Mothers Day. It is gorgeous and I am trying to find some info on it. It is stamped Van Briggle with a signature Craig Stevenson 22/250. I can't find much info about it online, but I love it!! Hope she does too.
It did also have a small pamphlet that I assume was with it when someone bought it. It is called The Angel Vase.
Hey kbechtel1,
Sometime in the 1990's, I visited the Van Briggle museum and bought some pieces for my antique store. They were also were selling a limited edition piece, which is the Angel vase you bought. They were going to only make 250, then destroy the mold. I'm not sure why, but I bought the piece and it cost me a pretty penny. I can'remember the exact amount but I think it was about $1000.00. I put it on my credit card and it took forever to pay off.
Yours is the first one I have ever seen, other than mine. I hope you got a good deal. You can also write to the Van Briggle museum. I'm sure they could tell you a bit more about the vase and perhaps the artist is still working at the factory.
Adios from a friend in Arizona,
