For Sale I have a wonderful piece of Art Pottery made by The Weller Pottery Company of Zanesville, Ohio. The Pattern is "Malverne or Malvern" as it is spelled both ways. The Shape is considered a Double Handled Planter or Jardinière. The Planter is a good size as it stands 4 1/2" tall to the top of the Handles and 6 7/8" in diameter outside handles measurements. The Planter Displays wonderful Raised or Embossed Leaves that have a Twig or Branch attached on a Fern or Tree Bark textured background. These Branches on each leaf rise from the leaf up to the Top and Form the Two Looped Handles on each Side. What a Nice Organic feel this Pot has!! The Glaze is another story in its own. The lower background has a very pleasing Dark Mauve Mottled background Glaze with the Top Half being a Mottled Green Fern Colored Glaze. The Branches are done in a Matt Black Glaze. The Interior is as beautiful as the Exterior. It displays a Mottled Pea Green at the Bottom to a deeper Mottled Fern Green at the top. This Glaze is simply Gorgeous!! The Planter is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. The Pieces is signed on the bottom with the Incised "Weller Pottery" written in Script Signature Mark. There is also the number 12 written in Black Ink or Glaze. This was more than likely the finishers number. Those of you who collect the Malverne Pattern and want an excellent example both in form and Glaze Combination should not let this one slip by. The piece was made Circa 1927-1933.
