My top 10 Weller pottery patterns in terms of popularity.
- Weller Hudson – Hudson is the most recognized artist decorated line of Weller pottery. There were many variations of Weller Hudson including Blue and Decorated, Copra, Gray (Hudson light), Perfecto, Rochelle and White and Decorated. Many of Weller’s top decorators such as Hester Pillsbury, Sarah McLaughlin, Claude Leffler, Dorothy England (Laughead) and Sarah Timberlake decorated vases for the popular Hudson patterns.
- Weller Sicard – The Sicard line was introduced by Jacques Sicard in 1901. Sicard had worked with Clement Massier and under intense secrecy perfected the iridescent metallic glaze. Most examples of Weller Sicard are found marked with Sicard or Sicardo Weller on the body and often as an integral part of the artwork.
- Weller Louwelsa – The Louwelsa pattern was introduced to compete with Rookwood’s standard glaze and Roseville’s Rozane. Louwelsa has maintained a broad collector interest throughout the history of American art pottery. In addition to Weller’s standard glaze, Louwelsa vases were produced in red, blue, green and matte glaze. Weller Louwelsa portrait vases are rare and highly sought after by collectors. Portrait vases typically include subject matter such as Native Americans, monks, cavaliers as well as animals such as cats and dogs.
- Weller Woodcraft/Muskota -The Weller Woodcraft line, particularly pieces decorated with Muskota figures are extremely popular with art pottery collectors. Weller Muskota figures include butterflies, birds, fish, other animals, nudes, and children.
- Weller Camelot – The highly decorative Camelot line is very popular with Weller collectors. It seems we find 3 to 5 pieces of Weller Camelot a year and typically sell them within a week or so. Camelot vases are typically smaller in stature than many other Weller Pottery patterns. Some Weller experts believe Camelot was originally called Souevo I.
- Weller Art Nouveau – Sam Weller introduced the Weller Art Nouveau line in response to the Art Nouveau movement, which began in Paris in the late 1800s. Weller Art Nouveau is typically found with a light/medium green to buff color matte ground with raised designs of ladies with flowing dresses or fruits and florals.
- Weller Glendale – The Weller Glendale pattern is meticulously decorated with all types of bird and scenic designs. Glendale was introduced in the early 1920s and is popular with collectors of middle period Weller Pottery.
- Weller Matte Green – In response to the success of Grueby’s matte green, over 30 potteries produced matte green pottery during the Arts and Crafts Movement of the early 1900s. The matte green pottery produced by Weller ranks among the more desirable by arts and crafts pottery collectors. In general, the vase forms used by Weller for its matte green pottery were more pleasing than that produced by competitors such as Hampshire and Roseville. Matte green competitors included Wheatley, Owens, Cambridge, Teco and many more.
- Weller Dickensware – There were three Dickensware lines. Dickensware I was similar to Louwelsa and Dickensware III was similar to Weller Eocean. Dickensware II (Dickensware Second Line) which is typically more sought after by art pottery collectors was created by Sam Weller based on themes from Charles Dickens’ The Pickwick Papers. Later Dickensware II subject matter included more varied themes. Dickensware Second Line vases are often very large in comparison to most other Weller Pottery patterns.
- Weller Fru Russet or Matte Ware – The Fru Russet line was introduced around 1905 and is a rare and highly sought after arts and crafts Weller pattern. Vases from the Fru Russet or Matte Ware line are typically matte green, blue, or brown and are often decorated with floral designs.

I have a weller vase and know nothing about it. I don’t see the marking above. It’s stamped in black. Does anyone have any information for me please. Nor have I seen this vase on this web site.
Lori,
I could probably help you identify your Weller pottery vase but I would need to see a photo.
Thanks,
Greg
I have a Dickensware weller pottery small brownish/greenish glossy vase. It has 6 curved in sides. Do u know if it’s from the 1st, 2nd or 3rd collection. Could s/one plz email me and help me figure it out
I have a Weller Woodcraft Pottery wall vase. The vase is in brown, rust & green tones and looks like an oak tree trunk. At the base is a squirrel eating an acorn.
The number 13 is on a very old price sticker on the back. What can you tell me about the age of this piece? It belonged to my grandmother who died in 1968.
Laura,
Weller Woodcraft was produced from around 1920 to 1933.
Thanks,
Greg
I have two pieces of Weller art pottery with what appears to be “Magnolia” motief in a matt finish. T smaller of the two is 6 1/2″ and the larger is 11″ tall. I do not find either on any web site.
Age, Value, Rare?? Please!!
I have a Weller pottery which has a matte finish. It is ivory background with incised trees with pink/green tops and what appear to be birds on a line. What pattern might this be? It is a jardiniere – about 9-10″ high.
I agree with the Weller top ten list except for one missing line: Brighton. The only reason I can see for it not being listed is that there isn’t much out there anymore. The large Brighton parrots go for thousands of dollars and are incredible works of art. I have only been able to find one so far, but that’s probably a good thing for my budget.
I have a Weller pottery vase. It is signed Pillsbury on one side, New York on the other and is stamped Weller Pottery on the base. It is a 2 handled jug type vase with floral motif and stands approx. 7″ tall & 5 1/2″ wide. The top is bulbous shaped. Any info as to age/value would be appreciated.
Thanks.
I have a very large Weller pedestal and matching jar, the pattern is Baldin and as usual it has the matte glaze finish, the unusual feature is the size, almost 40 inches tall…both pieces are stamped WELLER in caps…I was wondering about it’s value and who would be the Dealer you might recommend for its Sale..?
Jar is in excellent condition, the pedestal has a 1/2 inch chip halfway up the trunk, other than this they both have the usual weller production flaws, ne repairs or cracks..
I have about a dozen pieces in this pattern to sell, vases, jars, etc.., one of the vases is also unusual in that it is finished in a high gloss glaze as apposed to the standard matte finish…
Any info you might have on the larger piece and a dealer you might recommend would be greatly appreciated…
Thanks, Brett

Are there cups that go with #3 & #4, and I would like to know if there are any other Weller juvinele patterns out there and if so, what should I be looking for. Thanks.
