    I have a pair of what I think are vases maybe candle holders , I think I just smelled candle ?
    One is marked POTTER MELLON with an Indian (?) Arrow Head ?
    They are 7" wide, 4 1/2 front to back, and 3 3/4 high .



    I can't find much other than articles about the store in Cleveland , Ohio .

    And only a handful of pictures of pewter .



    I'm hoping someone PotMel.jpg PotMel1.jpg PotMel2.jpg PotMel3.jpg can tell me more, if not were I can find more information .

    I was trying to find the connection between Potter and Mellen with silverware and jewelry since the pewter items above did not seem likely. Lo and behold, here's Mr. Potter -

    Horace E. Potter


    Cleveland, OH 1897-1907
    Well known maker of handwrought sterling wares in the Arts & Crafts style. Founder of the Potter Shop 1908-1915 and Potter Studio 1915-1928. Was in the partnership of Potter-Bentley Studios with Gurdon W. Bentley 1928-1933 then in the partnership of Potter and Mellen until his death in 1948.
