Description :

Vintage Weller Pottery Florenzo Umbrella Basket – Circa 1930s–40s – Green with Blueberries

This rare Weller Pottery Florenzo umbrella basket features a sculptural cornucopia-style design with flaring petals and a loop handle. Decorated in a soft green glaze with hand-painted blueberry and leaf accents, it highlights Weller’s mastery of Art Deco and nature-inspired pottery.

  • Maker: Weller Pottery

  • Line/Pattern: Florenzo

  • Era: Circa 1930s–40s

  • Design: Sculptural umbrella/cornucopia form with loop handle and raised fruit detail

  • Condition: Good vintage condition with two very minor chips and light crazing typical for age; no structural cracks-see photos

  • Dimensions: Approx. 6–8" tall

  • Value: Comparable examples sell for around $110 on Ruby Lane and other collectible pottery markets.

Why it’s special: Weller Pottery was one of America’s foremost art pottery makers, admired for its hand-painted floral and fruit motifs. The Florenzo line is particularly collectible, and this basket is a rare decorative accent that also appeals strongly to pottery collectors.
