Weller Pottery Animal Sculptures

To identify Weller pottery, check the bottom for any maker's marks. Pieces produced during the late 19th and early 20th centuries often feature a half-circle stamp that includes the piece's line name and the Weller wordmark. Around 1910, the maker introduced a double circle stamp. Throughout the decades that followed, Weller began using different types of stamps, labels and incised markings to denote pieces from different lines. Although these markings and labels varied greatly, they all included the Weller name. Trusted online resources offer reference guides that can help you determine the line and year of production of your Weller pottery based on its markings.
