Collectibles Corner - Weller Pottery

Weller Pottery, one of the more well known Ohio potteries, was founded in 1872 and closed in 1948. They produced a large variety of styles and items, from utilitarian ware to gorgeous art pottery, all of which are highly collectible today.

Back in 2001 over 300 pieces of Weller Pottery were on exhibition for one day only at the Wisconsin Pottery Association Show & Sale - talk about a collector's dream! There is excellent coverage of the event online, click here to view photos and the program from the event.


Condition and rarity play into the values on Weller Pottery pieces, as they do with most collectibles, but size is another factor to take into consideration - it is definitely a case of bigger is better! Some forms are also more collectible than others, as are finely decorated artist signed pieces.


Familiarizing yourself with a company's wares - including the different styles, shapes, lines, patterns, and bottom marks - will put you steps ahead of the rest when you are ready to buy! A knowledgeable buyer always gets the best deals, so if you are interested in collecting Weller or any other collectible, arm yourself with a few good price and reference guides and buy with confidence!
