Weller pottery was founded in 1872 in Fultonham, Ohio by Samuel A. Weller. He moved his facilities to Zanesville, Ohio in 1882. He started off producing utilitarian stoneware such as milk pans and sewer tile and then moved on to producing high quality hand-decorated art pottery around 1893. By 1915, Weller pottery was the world’s largest art pottery.

Weller purchased the Lonhuda Pottery (Lonhuda Faience Co.) in 1894. He learned their decorative glazing techniques and continued to produce Lonhuda under the Louwelsa name, after Long left in 1895. Some of the artists developing Weller’s art pottery lines included Charles Babcock Upjohn, the new art director, Frederick H. Rhead, John Lessell, Sarah Timberlake, Jacques Sicard and Gazo Fudji.
After World War I, Weller focused on commercial wares and many prestige lines were discontinued. Rudolph Lorber joined the staff soon after and introduced lines such as Forest, Roma and Knifewood.
By the 1920’s, demand for expensive hand-decorated wares was starting to decline and by the 1930’s were discontinued.
The Hudson line was introduced in the early 1920’s, then the Coppertone, and Graystone Garden lines were added in the 1930’s. Art pottery enjoyed a brief revival but hard times were ahead.
The pottery closed in 1948, mainly because of the Great Depression and cheap Japanese imports after World War II.

If you have these questions above then why don’t you show the answers? What is the sense of asking a question about Weller Pottery. I have one piece and on a limited income so I can’t buy a book to find the value of one piece.
I have a beautiful vase made out of clay by weller 1872 I have no idea where I can take it to seek value or who might be interested in this fine piece of art if any one is interested pleas feel free to contact me it is in beautiful shape coxkarens51@outlook.com
I have a flower pot marked on bottom Dickens ware Weller.It also has 3 numbers of letters with one above or below these markings. It is brown and golden with water lilies, one open, 3 buds. Measures 10 in across and 9 in high. I believe was a wedding gift to my aunt which would be in the 30″s. Could you have more information and value of piece. Thank you
I have four Weller woodcraft three fox mugs. They are in very good shape. I believe they are from the 1920’s. Could you please let me know they approximate worth.Thank you
I Have a 14″ high weller vase with two side handles , with a large round bottom, narrowing in the middle and flaring out at the top. Light pink with two darker pink ” bas-relief” dogwood flowers with pale green leaves . The bottom marking is Weller in cursive with two small vertical lines crossed by a horizontal line .. Would like to know the date it was made plus it’s value
Hello I have a weller malvern small vase. It has the weller bottle kiln Mark. It also has initials. They are L P and a period. The L is raised slightly and the bottom of the L is touching the P.
Any idea of the artist/decorator?
Thanks, Jim
I have a Weller Eocean pppy vase,, 12″. It has no formed top, i.e., no lip. I can’t find out if this is very early, rare, or what it is or it’s value. Where can I find info on this: Would appreciate help.
I have a rare weller majolica on fish dolphin jardinier & pedestal. I would like to know the year it was made & the present value.
We have a vase with WELLER in caps stamped on the bottom. On the outside of the base rim Allsbury is noted —perhaps done by the potter? Is it possible that the piece is Weller pottery—we have a photo of a living room from the early 1940’s which shows it. Thanks for any help which you can provide.
I HAVE A GREEN PITCHER AND GREEN VASE – WELLER POTTERY SINCE 1872
INDICATED ON BOTTOM. THEY EACH HAVE A WHITE ROSE OR MAGNOLIA ON FRONT. WERE PURCHASED IN THE SOUTH BY MY DECEASED MOTHER-IN-LAW IN THE 40’S. pLEASE ADVISE APPROXIMATE WORTH. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.
