Matte Green Pottery Umbrella Stand
When first we saw this fantastic umbrella stand we though assuredly by Weller, but after having studied it a bit we think it may be better than Weller or perhaps an astouding piece by them. The pattern we can not discover in any reference for Weller so this might lend to the theory that it is some other potter. Notwithstanding, it is just fantastic with only a few light scratched - no chips, cracks, or the like. The one apology certainly to be noted is the drip of some hardened crystalline substance running all the way down the interior of this piece. Height: 21 1/2" / Diameter: 11 1/4"
