T. Gotham dirk van erp seattle denmark vtg calif pottery danish arts crafts vase

  

Measures about 8 1/2 tall. Thomas Gotham worked for Danish immigrant and Seattle tycoon Maritz Thomsen (West Coast Porcelain Manufacturers). In 1923 Gotham (WCPM) and Dirk van Erp were commissioned by San Francisco architect, Charles F. Strothoff to create at least one lamp in this scarce brownish copper crystalline glaze. For "dirk van erp gotham" for photos of that lamp.

Because there are so few pieces in this brown glaze we believe the Strothoff commission was the one & only time this glaze was fired: and connecting it to the 1923 Gotham/Erp/Strothoff commission. Already an important piece by Gotham, with the added connections to Strothoff and Erp, logic suggests this vase found it's way up to Seattle via the company's millionaire owner, Moritz Thomsen. A five pound sterling silver " Bug Basket " from Buckingham Palace, the most-prized possession of the last reigning monarch of The Kingdom of Hawai'i, an artifact from The White House and Porcellian Club (the birthplace of Facebook), the first man to the moon's 1st appearance in Space, an authentic Witch coven's serving charger and an 1885 New York City "Sitting Bull" Cigar Store Indian are but a few of our most interesting pieces.
