Artcraft

Introduced in 1933, Artcraft combined art deco influences and usually the earth tones of green and brownish tan, sometimes blue-green, occasionally with shades of pink and dull gold. The sleek, simple design features blunt buttressed supports and squat bases on the jardinières. The pieces are unmarked or have a foil label.
