The 1920s was a harried time for Weller Pottery, which transitioned from a sole proprietorship from individual ownership of Samuel Weller to a corporation. A third factory was added to the company in 1924, where artist John Lessel created several new pottery lines, before Samuel Weller passed away in 1925. Weller’s nephew Harry Weller became the president of the company, which underwent another blow from a destructive fire in its new, third factory in 1927. Weller Pottery turned more and more to commercial production and tile making and more utility items like beer mugs (only available after the repeal of the Prohibition). In the mid-1930s, the first and second factories closed as well, and under the management of several different presidents of the company, cooking utensils and inexpensive ornamental ware was made in the third pottery. Unfortunately, Weller Pottery closed completely in 1948.****Between the late 1900s and 1925 was die stamped logo WELLER in block letters. At least two sizes of this WELLER block letter die stamp can be found on Weller vases from this time period.
