L171 ANTIQUE WELLER LOUWELSA PANSY VASE ART POTTERY 1895-1905
Item Description
Offered for your consideration this Antique Weller Louwelsa Pansy vase 1900 bearing the proper makers mark used 1895 to 1905. Weller Pottery began production in 1872. Weller was founded by Samuel Weller. In 1895, Weller pottery purchased Lonhuda Pottery. With the addition of Lonhuda, Weller began production of Louwelsa. Louwelsa would become one of Weller's most popular lines and ultimately included over 500 different shapes of vases and bowls. In the mid-1890s Weller acquired the Lonhuda company, an art pottery in Steubenville, Ohio. He admired their slip decorated work and transferred production of the Lonhuda line to Zanesville. Later, with the help of W A Long, Lonhuda's previous owner, he transformed the production process, and Lonhuda was renamed Louwelsa for his daughter Louise.
