Wonderful 1920s Weller Pottery Frog on Lily Pad Planter - repaired, but great Chinese cinnabar vase as it is a tender

as it is a tender attempt to accomplish something possible in this impossible thing we know as life

and certainly it lends itself to imagining life inside these cliff-top castles

and the red and black painted details

Best of all are those green polka dotted roosters on the end

I often admire early Weller pottery, specifically (not surprisingly) their matte green glazed vessels from the 1910s 20s, but they're usually a bit beyond my reach. This sweet thing, which I really want to see planted with a few crocus or other early spring flowers, I found the other day in Maine, and while it shows an old repair, I don't think it matters a bit if one is to indeed use it as a planter, as one most definitely should!
