<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 4362800, member: 308"]Well I'm confused. Let me see if I can recap. First the jardiniere and the pedestal do not match which is probably why it was obtained on the cheap. The value is really in the jard anyway and it is clearly Weller. The butterfly is very nice and the jard alone was worth the investment. Jardinere prices are down right now but I'd still expect it would do well in the $100 range. With the correct pedestal I still wouldn't expect it to go over $300 or so. Jardinieres with the proper pedestal are much more desirable than jardinieres alone. In an Ardsley glaze it would bring much more as that pattern itself is very desirable. With the Live Auctioneers listing, note that the set misidentified as majolica. It's quite possible there were two bidders who did not know what they were actually bidding on and that contributed to the higher price. </p><p><br /></p><p>Weller used some funky marks sometimes so the mark SIS found doesn't really bother me. Nor does the difference in glaze colors as Weller used the same molds in several different lines and with a variety of different glazes including blended glazes. In this particular case, it is not part of a named pattern. With the Ardsley glaze it's Ardsley but in a blended glaze it's just that - a blended glaze. I doubt that the OP's jard is artist signed. I think it's probably just some kind of internal factory marking. In my experience, Weller is usually artist signed only on the body and only if it has been hand painted.
