This vase form is listed as no 140
in an early Broadmoor-Springs pamphlet (link).
The molded "Spanish Majolica" white vase is from
Colorado Springs and is also incised no 28 (click).

The blue pair was made at
Broadmoor's Denver pottery. From the pamphlet
cited the glazes may be turquoise or " Italian
Della Robbia" blue. We call the glaze on the right
"sandy blue" or "sandy turquoise".

Finally notice the difference in
quality between the Denver vases. |
|
|
The top vase is expertly thrown and
crisply ink stamped and labeled with the familiar
"Clay I am..." sticker (click).

|
Its wheelwork was likely done on a
plaster bat, resulting in an elegant concave base.
The ink stamping and foil label were thus
protected from tabletops and shelves. |
|
|
The sandy blue vase was press
molded and looks hastily finished with an ordinary
ink stamp (click).
Mold marks were left exposed on the base and even
on the sides.
