Amber Glass vs. Weller Pottery vs. French Art Glass: Which Antique Piece Should You Choose?

Comparing four antiques pottery and glass pieces-a Kralik amber fan vase, a three-piece amber glass saucer set, a Weller Apple Tree fan vase, and a Legras-style landscape vase-across listed prices, era, finish, and display appeal to help you choose the right piece for your collection.

Last updated Aug 15, 2026

If you are weighing antiques pottery and glass, the first decision is usually about silhouette and surface: do you want a sculptural vase, a small set of compotes and plates, a matte pottery form, or a broad hand-painted landscape? These four pieces cover all of those directions, with listed prices ranging from $22.95 to $174.99.

Quick Take

Across the group, the Art Deco Kralik fan vase is a glossy amber glass object with combed green threading, dated to the early 20th century. The vintage amber glass lot brings ruffled serving shapes, while the Weller Apple Tree fan vase shifts to matte, raised-relief pottery with an impressed backstamp. The Legras-style landscape vase completes the group with a hand-painted orange, green, and golden-yellow woodland scene. One is a lower-priced serving set, one is a sculptural glass vase, one is a pottery statement, and one is a hand-painted landscape piece.

Product Notes

Art Deco Kralik Czech Bohemian Amber Glass Fan Vase With Combed Green Threading

Choose this fan vase when you want a sculptural glass accent with early 20th-century character. The amber body meets combed green threading, and the glossy finish gives the fan silhouette a bright, reflective look. The item height is less than 10 inches, with an 8-inch width, so it works on a mantel or side table without overtaking the surface. It is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks. The Kralik name and the 1911-1940 era give it a clear collecting angle. On the practical side, it is at the higher end of this group, so the amber glass lot may fit better if you want to spend less.

Vintage Lot of 3 Amber Glass Saucer/ Small Plate Diamond Pattern/Ruffled Edge

This set of three amber glass pieces offers a mix of serving shapes at the lowest listed price in the comparison. The lot includes two pedestal dessert compotes and one plate, all with ruffled edges and a textured grid pattern on the outside or underside. Measurements are clear: the plate is 6 3/4 inches in diameter, the larger compote is 4 1/2 inches wide by 4 inches tall, and the smaller compote is 4 inches wide by 2 1/2 inches tall. The glass is previously owned and in good condition. If you want a lower-priced way to bring amber glass to a tabletop, this set is the straightforward pick. Keep in mind that it is not handmade, so it is better treated as decorative vintage glassware rather than a handmade art piece.

Weller Apple Tree Fan Vase Raised Relief Arts Crafts Pottery Ohio Antique

Anyone focused on early American Art Pottery will appreciate this Weller Apple Tree fan vase, which comes from the Ohio company and uses raised relief decoration on a fan-shaped body. The impressed backstamp adds a tangible marker, and the matte finish keeps the focus on the sculpted apple tree branches, leaves, and fruit. It is early 20th century, handmade, and used, with a multicolor glaze. If you prefer ceramics to glass, this is the only pottery option in the group and the one with a United States origin. The price lands in the middle of the group, so it is more of an intentional acquisition than an impulse set. One limitation: because it is a single fan vase, it does not bring the multiple pieces that the amber glass lot offers.

Antique French Art Glass Landscape Vase Orange Green Enameled Trees Legras Style

If you want a dramatic vertical accent, this landscape vase delivers with an orange and golden-yellow background, dark tree trunks, green foliage, and fine landscape detailing. The hand-painted surface, combined with the contrasting dark green textured base and slightly flared square opening, makes it a visually rich choice. The design is reminiscent of Legras-style French cameo and enamel art glass, and it is of French origin and handmade. It is also the highest-priced option, so set your expectations accordingly. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures, so the exact manufacturer and age are unconfirmed. That uncertainty matters if provenance is central to your collection.
