California Late

California Late Period

The Craftsman Studios (CS) ‘Late Period’ is the Laguna Beach period from likely the late 1920s until possibly the early 1950s when the style and workmanship of CS products changed direction and the quality, arguably, diminished.

This period would more or less include pieces with the Craftsmen Inc and Craftsmen Co marks. It likely includes the ceramic and glass pieces, including lamps and other novelties.

Although “Gulpy has what appears to be an earlier CS imprint on its cast structure, it may well herald from this period, too; Glenn Griffin has a 1937 advertisement heralding Gulpy as “…welcome in almost any home – a sleepy pelican which upon request opens his roomy beak to offer you matches and cigarettes.” Gulpy could be purchased for $10.00.
