Antique Weller-Style Ivory Ceramic Jardiniere / Planter – Floral Embossed
Beautiful antique early 20th-century style ceramic jardiniere or planter featuring an elegant ivory/cream glaze with extensive natural crazing and a subtle iridescent sheen.
The multi-sided, paneled form is decorated with raised floral and leaf motifs, including distinctive pineapple/pinecone-like accents. The piece features two curved side handles and a flared, footed base, giving it a wonderful Arts & Crafts / Art Nouveau appearance.
The overall design is reminiscent of early Weller Pottery art pottery, particularly the ivory jardiniere forms produced during the early 1900s. Similar Weller examples feature ivory glazes, molded floral decoration, paneled bodies, and age-related crazing.
