Tragically, Artus' life was cut short when, in 1904 at the age of 35, he succumbed to tuberculosis. After his death, Anne continued the work they began together - an effort which created one of America 's premier art potteries. Examples of Van Briggle pottery can be seen in permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum in New York , the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. , The British Museum in London , and at the Louvre in Paris .

    The Artistic tradition begun by Artus and Anne Van Briggle over 100 years ago continues today. Many of their designs and glaze effects created at the turn of the 20 th century are still being produced by gifted artisans who perpetuate and reinterpret the classic Van Briggle style. In addition to fine pottery the Van Briggle studios produce a complete line of decorative ceramic tile using many of Van Briggle's early 20th century designs.
