The following year Long sold his pottery to Weller and became a designer for Weller. Long’s tenure at the Weller pottery was short; he left in 1896. At approximately this time Louise Weller was born and the Lonhuda pottery line became Louwelsa. As with the Lonhuda pottery, Louwelsa featured a high gloss over beautifully painted flowers and background colors of blues, reds and greens, often in a gradient of light, bright color to very dark colors.Weller Louwelsa pottery was introduced in 1896 and was designed to emulate the rich, even colors that competing makers were generating in the early years of the twentieth century. Though it appeared in a variety of faience-glazed colors, Weller Louwelsa pottery arguably achieved peak popularity with its rich brown glazes that served as an ideal ground for everything from nature studies to striking portraits.
