For sale I have a very nice Jardinière made by the Weller Pottery Company of Zanesville, Ohio. The Pattern is known as "Bedford Matt Green" and it is outstanding. The Jardinière is a good size as it stands 6 1/4" tall and is 8 1/4" in diameter.

The Jardinière Displays a very Nice Frothy Mottled Matte Green Glaze. This Glaze is very similar to Hampshire's Cucumber Matte Green Glaze and I suspect that Weller created the Bedford Matt Green Line to specifically compete with them. The Shape is a very pleasing Tapered Shape with a Closed in Rim. This could be used on a small pedestal or on the Floor as a Floor Vase or a Center Piece displaying Flowers.

The Jardinière is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. The piece is unsigned but it has the Painted Blue Green Glaze on the bottom side. This is a tell tale sign of unsigned Weller in the Bedford Matt Line. There is an Inclusion on the inside bottom and you can see a little bit of a calcium deposit ring on the inside. This is minor and only mentioned for accuracy. Those of you who decorate in the Arts and Crafts, Mission Style will surely welcome this accessory into the home. It will also enhance any Matte Green art Pottery Collection.

This would look outstanding with anyone Decorating with Gustav Stickley or Mission Arts and Crafts Furniture. I'm sure the lucky winner will be very happy with their Purchase. The Bedford Matt Line was considered an early line by Weller Pottery Circa 1905-1920.
