For Sale I have a lovely piece of Art Pottery made by The Weller Pottery Company of Zanesville, Ohio. The form is a Flower Vase and the pattern is "Clinton Ivory". The Vase measures an impressive 9 3/4" tall and is 4 1/16" wide at the rim. It has a Base diameter of 4 11/16". The Vase depicts a flowing Art Nouveau pattern throughout that resembles "Griffins" facing each other on both sides of this wonderful piece. I believe these are leaves but they also resemble an Elephants Trunk when the Vase is turned sideways, empty of course. There is a Scroll type of decoration at both the top and bottom portion of this vase. The pattern is done on a Cream Background with an Olive Green to Cinnamon Glaze that was probably rubbed or painted on by the Artist. The Artist would have then wiped the Vase with a cloth to take away these darker colors from the High Spots thus leaving behind the residue in the lower relief areas. This helps to bring this Delightful Design to life by giving it detail without adding color. The Vase is in Excellent Condition as there are no cracks, chips, nicks or dings. It does have crazing which is very common for this particular Glaze and does not detract from its beauty. The piece is signed with the "WELLER" Block Letter Impressed Stamp however only it is somewhat obscured by the Glaze. This Vase was made Circa 1910-1914.
