Manufacturer: Bennington Potters, Vermont, David Gil
David Gil, trained at Alfred University and profiled in the Winter 1961 issue of Vermont Life, started Bennington Potters in 1948 in Bennington, VT right after WWII. It evolved into a co-operative of different art potters. They are among the few American studio potteries that turned into production potteries in the midcentury. They made their bread and butter by making gorgeous modern styled dinnerware that was distributed throughout the US and sold in fine department stores.

His early work carried his full name and the name Cooperative Design when he and other Alfred graduates designed work as a cooperative. This early mark is believed to have been in use until 1960.

Produced by the David Gil led studio at Bennington Potters, this the double trigger handle mug is a classic design of David Gil that he created in 1953.

This coffee mug stands 4" H, 3 1/4" D (4 1/2" wide including handle). Colors are white, granite blue, teal green with foam drip trigger handles in all three colors. Marked, Bennington Potters, Bennington VT 1340 dg. It is in excellent condition and blends well with other Mid-century dinnerware lines. It looks great in my Haywood-Wakefield buffer server. It would look great in yours too.
