Weller Art Pottery
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 1895, Charles Upjohn joined Weller pottery as art director. Upjohn's most recognized line is Dickens Ware. Upjohn ultimately left Weller Pottery in 1904. In 1902 Weller hired Jacques Sicard. Sicard developed the Sicard line; which continues to be one of Weller's most sought-after patterns to this date. Weller Sicard production ended in 1907. (Story continues below products)

By 1906 many of the more popular, hand-decorated Weller pottery patterns such as Aurelian, Eocean, Etna, Modeled Matte, Art Nouveau were already in production. The LaSa line was introduced by John Lessell who became art director for Weller pottery in 1920.
