For sale I have a Lovely piece of Pottery made by The Weller Pottery Company of Zanesville, Ohio. The pattern is "Cornish" and the form is a Squat Vase. The Vase measures 5 1/2" tall and is approximately 6 1/4" in diameter at the widest point. The rim measures approximately 1 11/16" wide outside measurements.
The Vase depicts a Mottled Caramel or Terra Cotta colored Background Glaze. Weller considered this their Brown in this line. There are embossed leaves with a stem that has berries hanging from it. The Leaves overlay three rings that surround the Vase and there are 2 Mock Scroll Handles applied on each side. The back of the Vase is Plain except for the Mottled Glaze. The leaves have an Olive Green Hue to them and three of the Berries are Glazed in a black glaze. The other two are Glazed in a Pale Green as if they have not ripened as of yet.
The Vase is considered to be in Excellent Condition as there are no cracks, chips, nicks or dings. The Vase is signed on the bottom with the incised Script "Weller Pottery" as well as the letter "B" in Black. This was more than likely the Artist or the finisher's mark. I have a similar Rose Bud Vase with the same Artist initial. This Vase will work well in any Arts and Crafts of Mission setting as well as a Country decor.
The Vase was made Circa 1933.
