Manufacturer: David Gil, Cooperative Design, Bennington Potters Vermont
Here is a whimsical modern stoneware piece from David Gil at Bennington Potters in Vermont, which dates pre-1960 as that is the year they starting marking their pieces with shape numbers. This size plate would later carry the number 1280. . It is the same shape as pieces I own which carry the original Raymor line label. This 6 1/4 inch round x 3/4 inch deep plate with rough unglazed bottom has glazed sides at the rim, signed with incised signature 'David Gil' and 'bennington'. The piece features a very stylized and abstract bull done in shades of pumpkin orange, turquoise and black on a glossy white glaze. .A great fun and funky piece in excellent condition.

David Gil's work in Bennington Vermont started in 1948. It evolved into a co-operative of different art potters and used the mark Design Cooperative until around 1960. They are among the few American studio potteries that turned into production potteries in the midcentury.
