For sale I have a lovely piece of pottery made by the Weller Pottery Company of Zanesville, Ohio. The shape is a Vase and the pattern is known as "Silvertone". The Vase measures 8 3/8" tall and is 8" in diameter outside handle measurements. The opening in the neck of the Vase is 2 3/8" wide so it could hold an elaborate bouquet of flowers.

The Vase depicts Red Poppies in Full Bloom set on Branches with Leaves adorning both the front and back of the piece. There are two applied handles on each side that are twisted starting at the shoulder and ending at the waist. They are gnarly and meant to simulate the branches that these lovely flowers are growing from. The Leaves are a soft mint Green and these are set on a swirled Lavender background. The rim of the Vase is Flared and Ruffled giving it a feminine presence. The Glazing of this piece reminds me on an Impressionist style painting.

The Vase is considered to be in Excellent Condition as there are no cracks, chips, nicks or dings. There is one rough spot on the bottom edge that I have shown for a close up in Picture # 6. This is a factory flaw or rough spot and is only shown for accuracy. It does not detract from the beauty of this Vase. The piece is signed with Weller's half kiln Ink Stamp along with the letter "A" which is the artist signature.

This Vase is from Wellers Middle Period, Circa 1918-1935.
