Description:
For Sale I have a very hard to find piece of Art Pottery made by The Weller Pottery Company of Zanesville, Ohio. The pattern line is called "Muskota" and it is the Frog Lotus Blossom Flower Frog.The Flower Frog depicts a Frog emerging from a Lotus or Water Lily Blossom on the surface of a Pond or Lake. The Glaze Combination is Signature Weller at its Best. This Glaze reminds me of the Woodcraft Glaze line as well. The Glaze displays many shades of Browns and Greens throughout. The Frog has a determined look on his face as if he is just waiting for a Dragonfly to come buzzing by as he is patiently waiting for a meal. There are stem holes in the base section below the frog and blossom for flowers or stems.
The Flower Frog is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. There are the usual Factory Glaze Pin Pops on the White Section of the Lotus Flower and on the back side. The piece is unsigned but there is no doubt that this was made by Weller.
This piece will also look wonderful in any Weller Coppertone or Weller Woodcraft Collection as well. This piece is from the early part of the Middle Period. This would mean that this wonderful piece of Art Pottery was made Circa 1917-1922. Those of you who collect Muskota and want a nice example, Do Not let this one Slip by.
