Manufacturer: David Gil, Cooperative Design, Bennington Potters Vermont
Here is a whimsical modern stoneware piece from the late David Gil at Bennington Potters in Vermont. started by David Gil in 1948. It is just a bit later than the pre-1960 time period when Gil used a transition mark which included both the words Design Cooperative and Bennington Vermont.
I recently learned that when Gil decided to mark his works with shape numbers, he started with the number 1300. However, if an earlier design was to remain in production, they marked it with a number starting with 1290. This explains the numbering and mark on the transition pieces.
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.
After 1960, they made their bread and butter by making gorgeous modern styled dinnerware that was distributed throughout the US and sold in fine department stores.
This 8 inch long x 7 inch wide hanging plate or plaque was designed by founder David Gil. It is done in a standard foamy brown glaze with the lion's face in a mottled brown and green glaze. The original wire is present. It is signed Bennington Vermont with the Fork logo. It is the same as the Cooperative Design mark with Cooperative Design NOT part of the mark.
It is in excellent condition. Add it to your American Art Pottery or Mid Century Vermont pottery collection today |
