Has anyone seen new or fake Van Briggle items lately !!  t I can not find the ashtray above and the name is wrong !!  Van Briggle was never signed,as far as I know, with  a U shaped V in Van Briggle !!  They did produce items until fairly recently but can`t find much info !!  Any ideas ??  Scroll down to see the upright ashtray !!  She thinks its a baseball glove but I am not sure that is  what was intended !!

The ashtray looks to be a piece of high glazed Dryden Pottery, made while they were connected with Van Briggle. I would say it dates to the late 1960's, after they dropped the Anna name. There is some confusion about the Dryden / Van Briggle pieces, but apparently they were made at the Colo. Springs plant, using Dryden clay and glazes.

It is not a baseball glove.  Seen this same shape with a variety of colors in many ashtrays of the era.
