<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Christine Steingass, post: 13100395, member: 114460&quot;]I went digging because I was curious why you weren&#039;t finding another one, and I think there are at least a few things we can establish from the photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>The molded “Weller Pottery Since 1872” mark on the underside is a documented later Weller mark. Just Art Pottery&#039;s Weller marks/history reference states that pottery made after 1935 can be found with the in-mold script “Weller Pottery Since 1872.” That would place this in Weller&#039;s later production period; Weller ultimately ceased production in 1948.</p><p><br /></p><p>Source – Just Art Pottery, Weller history and marks:</p><p><a href="https://justartpottery.com/pages/about-weller-pottery" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://justartpottery.com/pages/about-weller-pottery" rel="nofollow">https://justartpottery.com/pages/about-weller-pottery</a></p><p><br /></p><p>There is also another American pottery-mark reference showing Weller&#039;s use of the impressed “Weller Pottery Since 1872” mark:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cajunc.com/pottery-marks" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cajunc.com/pottery-marks" rel="nofollow">https://www.cajunc.com/pottery-marks</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I searched the visible number 3497, triangular Weller bowls, triangular candlesticks, and Weller oak-leaf pieces, but I haven&#039;t found another documented example of this exact three-piece combination yet. So I wouldn&#039;t want to invent a particular Weller line or pattern name without something better to support it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The matching triangular forms, cream glaze and identical green leaf treatment certainly make the three pieces look intentional as a set, though.</p><p><br /></p><p>Considering you already checked WorthPoint and image search and apparently came up empty, the lack of readily available identical examples is interesting. It doesn&#039;t automatically mean rare or valuable, but I wouldn&#039;t personally dismiss it as ordinary inexpensive Weller without doing a little more digging first.</p><p><br /></p><p>Very cool set. If anyone has an old Weller catalog showing shape 3497 or recognizes the line, I&#039;d love to see it because now I&#039;m curious too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
