For Sale I have a spectacular example of pottery made by the Weller Pottery Company of Zanesville, Ohio. The pattern is the ever popular "Baldin" and the items are a Jardiniere and Pedestal. The overall height of this lovely combination is 31 7/8" tall and the Jardiniere is approximately 13 1/2" in diameter at the widest point or belly of the planter. The Pedestal is 23 1/4" tall. The Jardiniere and Pedestal depicts a Naturalistic Tree form for the Pedestal with the Jardiniere representing an Apple Tree at Harvest time. The bottom of the Pedestal is a warm earth tone Brown graduating and blending with Greens towards the top to represent the foliage. It even has open handled branches towards the top for a realistic affect. There are a few ripe apples surrounding these branches that are Red with portions of them accented with Greenish yellow tones. The Jardiniere has an all over pattern of embossed Leaves and Apples also glazed in the Earth tones and the color and details on this set is just magnificent. The Jardiniere and Pedestal are considered to be in Excellent Condition as there are no cracks, chips, nicks or dings. Both pieces are signed with the impressed Weller Block signature. The Jardiniere has two separate Artist signatures, one on the bottom which is, I believe, MR for Marie Rauchfuss. The second signature is impressed near the bottom and shown in picture number 9 and appears to be a "RL" for Rudolph Lorder. He was the Artist at Weller that Created the "Baldin Line". There are felt squares applied to both the bottom of the Jardiniere and Pedestal to help protect from chips or dings and do not affect the value. This Jardiniere and Pedestal are sure to become one of the Lucky Buyer's favorite pieces. This pattern is referred to Baldin in most of the books but I have seen reference to it being Flemish. It also has strong similarities to Woodcraft and Alvin so it is very versatile for pairing with one of these alternate collections. This piece would work well in any Mission, Country, Adirondack or Arts and Crafts decor. I have listed shipping fees at $100.00 however this is an estimate as it depends on the zip Code as well as box dimensions. This will be shipped in two separate packages and the fees will most likely be between $75.00 and $100.00 fully insured. The box measurements will be oversized and can only be shipped UPS.
