Selecting antiques pottery glass often comes down to a useful tension: do you want a sculptural fan vase that commands attention from across a room, or a lower bowl-shaped piece whose decoration rewards a closer look? The four options here span amber glass, raised-relief pottery, etched matte clay, and copper-clad art pottery. Listed prices run from $72 to $495, so form and decorative treatment matter as much as the budget.
Quick take
For a botanical Arts & Crafts focal point, the Weller Apple Tree Fan Vase combines a fan profile with raised apple tree relief. Choose the Clewell Pottery Copper Clad Low Bowl Vase when a compact, geometric vessel is the goal and the $495 listed price suits the purchase. The Hampshire Pottery Style Matte Champagne Bowl is the lowest-priced choice at $72, centered on a champagne brown gold matte finish and etchings. For a glass alternative with a stronger Art Deco direction, the Kralik Czech Bohemian Amber Glass Fan Vase brings amber glass and combed green threading into an 8-inch-wide fan form.

Decision matrix
Choose by silhouette. The Weller and Kralik are both fan vases, suited to shoppers looking for an upright, spread-form display piece. The Clewell is explicitly a low bowl vase, while the Hampshire is a 5.5-inch-tall bowl; either makes more sense when a lower profile is preferred.
Choose by decoration. Weller's raised apple tree branches, leaves, and fruit make it the natural pick for dimensional botanical ornament. Clewell shifts the mood to bold geometric decoration around the shoulder. Hampshire focuses on etched detail, and Kralik uses combed green threading over amber glass rather than pottery decoration.
Choose by finish and material. The Hampshire's matte champagne brown gold clay surface provides the quietest color treatment of the group. Weller is also matte but multicolor and relief-decorated. Clewell is clay pottery with copper cladding, while Kralik is glossy amber glass with green threading. Those are distinct visual directions rather than interchangeable takes on the same look.
Product notes
Weller Apple Tree Fan Vase Raised Relief Arts Crafts Pottery Ohio Antique
Pick the Weller when an Arts & Crafts vase needs an unmistakably sculptural, nature-led design. Its fan-shaped body is paired with raised apple tree branches, leaves, and fruit, so the decoration has dimension rather than relying solely on glaze or etched lines. The matte multicolor finish and impressed backstamp further fit its decorative pottery identity, and the early-20th-century era is listed. Its limitation is the used condition: shoppers seeking a piece described as new other may prefer the Hampshire bowl. The form also prioritizes an upright fan-vase presence, not the lower bowl silhouette offered by Clewell and Hampshire.
Clewell Pottery Copper Clad Arts and Crafts Geometric Decorated Low Bowl Vase
The Clewell is the choice for a compact pottery vessel with geometric rather than floral imagery. It has a low rounded form, green as the main color, and copper cladding, with geometric motifs around the shoulder. At 3 inches tall and 5 3/4 inches wide, it suits a display arrangement where a shorter vessel is wanted. The listing describes it as used and notes age-related wear, which is the key limitation to weigh against its decorative appeal. Its $495 listed price is also far above the other three pieces, so it is best reserved for shoppers specifically drawn to the copper-clad, low-bowl format.
Hampshire Pottery Style Arts and Crafts Matte Champagne Bowl W/Etchings 5.5"T
Choose the Hampshire Pottery Style bowl for a matte clay piece with a warm champagne brown gold color and etched decoration. The 5.5-inch-tall bowl form offers a lower, more contained profile than either fan vase, while its Arts and Crafts/Mission styling keeps it aligned with the pottery-focused choices. At $72, it is the lowest listed-price option in this comparison. The limitation is equally clear in the title: it is a bowl, not a fan vase, so it will not create the same broad, vertical silhouette as Weller or Kralik. Its condition is listed as new other (see details).
Art Deco Kralik Czech Bohemian Amber Glass Fan Vase With Combed Green Threading
The Kralik is the strongest pick when glass, rather than clay pottery, is central to the display. Its amber body, combed green threading, glossy finish, and fan-vase shape create a distinctly Art Deco direction. With an 8-inch width and height listed as less than 10 inches, it offers a broad decorative profile without being described as tall. The used condition is a practical limitation for shoppers who favor the Hampshire's new-other designation. It also trades botanical relief and geometric pottery motifs for color and threaded glasswork, making it best for a collection where amber and green glass is the intended visual accent.
Final recommendation by use case
Choose Weller for raised botanical Arts & Crafts decoration in a fan vase. Choose Clewell for a copper-clad geometric low bowl vase and a compact 3-inch height. Choose Hampshire for a matte etched bowl with the lowest listed price. Choose Kralik for an Art Deco glass fan vase whose amber-and-green color treatment is the main draw.
