I believe this to be a piece of Wheatley pottery, however the only marking on the item is the #14 on the base. It is in very nice condition
The height is 8inches, the opening is 4inches in diameter and the base is 6inches in diameter. The middle section is wider than the base.
Hi Kyle,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Wheatley Pottery marks vary depending on the production period and specific piece. Here are some known examples:
- Conjoined "WP" Monogram: A stylized, conjoined "WP" impressed into the base of the pottery. This mark is associated with pieces from the early 1900s, around 1903–1907.
- Hand-Incised Script: Some earlier pieces, dating back to the 1880s, feature hand-incised script marks such as "T.J. Wheatley 1880." These marks are often found on the underside of the pottery and may include additional details like model numbers.
- Impressed "TWP" Mark: Certain items bear an impressed "TWP" mark, which stands for T.J. Wheatley Pottery. This marking is typically found on pieces from the early 20th century.
While the matte glaze of this vase is comparable to what Wheatley made, the lack of one of these marks - only marked "14" - makes it impossible to conclusively attribute this Arts & Crafts vase to Wheatley.
Most unattributed Arts & Crafts pottery of this size, shape and color typically sells for between $100 and $150 at auction.
