These
"fan" or pleated pillow vases were made in abundance at Broadmoor
Pottery's
Denver operation. We have not found fan vases from
Broadmoor-Colorado Springs.

The
bubble gum pink glaze is uncommon even for Denver, very rare from the
Springs. |

The
glaze on our Vail Genter-incised vase above LINK
is described in
Dommel's Dakota Potteries as a "pink
matte over-sprayed with blue matte". The two tone glaze was introduced
to
Broadmoor in Denver by Howard Lewis after he worked for Dickota Pottery
in
the early 1930s.
|
|
|
When
Broadmoor went out of business in 1939 Lewis returned to North Dakota
and worked for
Rosemeade later making a somewhat smaller form of
the fan vase. |

These
two fan vases, one with the most beautiful cream glaze LINK,
and the matte blue
(periwinkle) have some sort of fraternal
crest
addition.

These
plain large pillow vases can also be occasionally
spotted at auction. We have found all so far only
made at Broadmoor Pottery in Denver. The green example is incised Milgrim, probably one of the Denver
potters.

Finally
this
third form with a nice Ming Yellow
glaze was made at Denver as well.
