Titled "Indian Maiden Grinding Corn," take a moment to soak in the Maize Maiden's slender fingers, parted hair, fabric folds and individual teensy tiny kernels of corn.

Handmade in Colorado Springs, CO, the piece is signed, stands at 6 inches tall and is a unique decorative piece that reflects the unique art pottery production style and technique of Van Briggle, which has a beloved following. Perfect for collectors of decorative pottery and Native American-themed items, this original piece from the 1940s is a beautiful example of artistry and craftsmanship. Measures 6.5 inches long, 5.5 inches wide and weighs just over 1 pound 4 ounces with a brilliant blue hue that changes with the time of day and type of lighting. Art Deco celadon ceramics like these feature a pale, blue-green-jade-colored glaze applied to stylized forms, often with crackle textures or molded relief figures.

This is the quintessential and most recognizable piece of Van Briggle pottery with a classic Ming blue turquoise matte glaze. Various versions of the girl grinding corn were produced by Van Briggle Pottery until the company officially closed in 2012. Waiting for a home where she'll be cherished for the beauty that she is!
