One of the pioneers of Ohio art pottery was Samuel Augustus Weller, who created the seventy-year enterprise ofWeller Pottery. He started his own business in 1872 in Fultonham, Ohio making utilitarian ware such as stoneware jars and clay flowerpots. But in 1882 Weller moved his small company to Zanesville, Ohio and by 1888, he had employed 68 potters to make art pottery at what historians call “the first edition” of the Putnam factory. As the factory grew in size and employees (175 active potters by 1894), Samuel Weller joined forces with other artisans such as William A. Long, Jaques Sicard, and Frederick Hurten Rhead
Despite a devastating fire in 1895, Weller pushed production every year, rebuilt the Putnam factory, and built a second pottery for manufacturing utility ware only. By 1915 Samuel Weller had establishedWeller Potteryas the world’s largest art pottery company with pieces that reflected the movements of the time; Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and Modernism.
