A Van Briggle pottery vase called Lorelei, made in 1898, sold for $187,500 at a Rago auction in June 2016. The 7½ inch tall vase has a relief figure of a mermaid curled around the top. The Colorado company continued to make the vase until it closed in 2012. A vase from the same mold made in the 1970s sells for about $1,500.
The mermaid is part of a dish shaped vase. It has a shell shaped flower frog. The vase is called Siren of the Sea. It was first made in the early 1900s
It is spelled Lorelei by the Van Briggle Company. There is no such thing as a male mermaid He would be a merman. There is a Van Briggle vase that is similar to Lorelei with a man at the top. It is called Despondency. Both vases were among the very early work at Van Briggle and both have been reissued in various colors for years.
