Description |
This vase represents the last iteration of the Hudson Ware line produced at Weller Pottery Company (1872-1948). Both bear the decorator's initials DL, for Dorothy England Laughead (1895-1982). Laughead changed her signature, initials, and cipher after she married Frank Laughead in November 1938, providing a more definitive date for this Hudson Ware vase. |
