Samuel A. Weller began his first pottery in 1872 serving the
needs of local farmers for earthenware jugs, crocks, churns, tiles, flower pots
and cuspidors. By 1889 he had moved his business to Zanesville and turned to
producing fancier wares.The early successes of Weller centered on portraiture of
characters from popular Dickens novels. known as Dickensware, and
characterized by a high-gloss glaze over dark tones with cream and ivory skin
tones in the portraits. Other successful lines followed, as Weller pursued the
goal of combining relatively high-quality artistic design with more efficient
and less costly manufacturing processes.. The manufacturer's presence has
extended to vases, wall pockets, beer sets, beer pots, bowl
planters,centerbowls, flower pots, grease jar,jars, jam pot, cornucopia,

new art nouveau stylings and the incorporation of nature themes into art

styles could be more profitable and started production of pottery in the style of
Lonhuda, and he renamed his line Louwelsa
