Weller Pottery Majolica-Style Scalloped Jardiniere

This is a vintage ceramic jardiniere produced by Weller Pottery, likely dating from the early 20th century (circa 1900-1920s). The item features a bulbous, rounded body that tapers toward a molded base, topped with a distinctive scalloped or pie-crust rim. Its aesthetic is characterized by a high-relief, molded Art Nouveau design featuring ornate scrolling acanthus leaves, floral motifs, and organic swells. The glaze is a classic Majolica-style blended application, transitioning from a warm salmon-pink or burnt orange hue at the top to a rich, deep forest green at the base. The colors bleed together naturally at the midsection, highlighting the dimensional textures of the mold. The kiln-fired ceramic exhibits a glossy finish with significant all-over crazing (fine surface cracks in the glaze), which is typical for pottery of this age. Notable condition issues include a reported small hairline crack on the interior, which may affect structural integrity and liquid retention. There are also visible small white spots on the green section, likely kiln pops or minor glaze flakes. The underside typically bears a Weller stamp or incised mark, though it is not visible here. The craftsmanship represents the mass-produced yet high-quality decorative art pottery movement popular in Zanesville, Ohio.
