Manufacturer: Bennington Potters, Vermont, David Gil
This vase stands 7 inches tall at its tallest point and is shaped as a vase or possibly a very tall creamer as its twin spout design matches shorter Gil creamers.
Bennington by Gil started in 1948 . They are among the few American studio potteries that turned into production potteries in the midcentury. It evolved into a co-operative of different art potters. They made their bread and butter by making gorgeous modern styled dinnerware that was distributed throughout the US and sold in fine department stores but this is an earlier more studio inspired piece.
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. This piece has a shape number in the 1600 series, either 1638 or 1688. The glaze on it is darker than the later standard teal glaze. This shade has more black in it. It is in excellent shape.
