<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 4362876, member: 308"]Understandable and that's where Weller gets tricky. Most collector consider this shape Ardsley only if it is glazed likes SIS's example. If it's glazed like the OP's example most Ardsley collectors wouldn't consider it Ardsley and wouldn't be interested. So how to define Weller? By the shape or the glaze? There is no real right answer so collectors tend to ID by glaze. It comes up with other Weller lines like Roma and Flemish. Both lines share some of the same shapes so to distinguish identical shapes the collectors identify it by the glaze.</p><p><br /></p><p>It also occurs with other potteries too but not usually to the same extent as it does with Weller. Roseville's Ivory lines use shapes from a number of different patterns but if you find it in white Roseville collectors consider it either Ivory I or Ivory II.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
