Rich Green Glaze
Weller Ware
“Marvo” Fan Vase
A tall fan-shaped vase from Weller Pottery, in the design called "Marvo." According
to Warman's Weller Pottery (p. 185):
Marvo was introduced in the mid-1920s and production continued
through 1933. The pieces are molded with tropical foliage and glazed
in shades of orange or brown, pink, green ...
This is an intense art pottery vase--better than my photos make it look.
It is heavily decorated on both sides, and has a lovely dark-to-light
green glaze. The top has 5 rings for holding flowers (I assume).
This vase is 8 inches high at the rim, 8 inches wide across the rim,
and 1.75 inches deep at the rim. The foot is about 4 inches by 3.5 inches.
It is in excellent condition, with no signs I can see of chips, cracks,
crazing, fleabites, or other flaws. It's really quite a stunner.
The glazed bottom (with unglazed footring) has a fairly clear black
mark for "Weller Ware." Price: $159. |
