Description

Description:
PLEASE read the condition below before buying: A beautiful Weller Pottery La-Sa 11 1/2 inch tall iridescent metallic vase by John Lessell. This line dates to the 1920s, we've had a few pieces in the past in different shapes and decor. This one features trees in a landscape scene with mountains next to an ocean or lake. Wonderful metallic glaze ranges in color from gold to copper and maroon.
Marked on the side with "Weller La-Sa"
Condition:
This vase has a large chip repair about 2" right on the rim - it was received in this condition (from an unethical seller who didn't disclose it). Wouldn't be selling except we know it's a desirable line. It might be displayed almost normally, but I'm going to say that you will see the chip/repair.
Uncertain if this could be fixed better by a conservator or if it'd be worth it. The p
rice adjusted for the damage - p
lease do not message to complain. Yes, I know it would be quite a bit more if the chip wasn't there.
There is some other light wear, scratches, crazing, scuffs, marks. Interior has dirt/debris from use.
Measurements:
Measures about
11 1/2" tall, 4" wide at top, 5" widest.
