Spring often ushers in thoughts of frivolity and fun in the garden or backyard. And few potteries understood this better than Weller Pottery. This rare and large Coppertone “Dancing Frogs”garden ornament from Weller Pottery, c. 1930, reflect not only the hopefulness of spring but the magic. It recently sold for $11,340 at Toomey & Co. Auctions.
Samuel A. Weller established Weller Pottery in Fultonham, Ohio, in 1872, with a modest cabin and a single kiln. Weller’s expansion to Zanesville, Ohio, in 1882 signaled the onset of decorative ware production. Although Weller Pottery closed in 1948, collectors of American Arts & Crafts art pottery continue to appreciate various Weller lines. Inspired examples, such as “Dancing Frogs,” often command high prices at auction or via private sale.
