Circa: 1960-1970
Manufacturer: David Gil, Cooperative Design, Bennington Potters Vermont
Here are two whimsical modern stoneware pieces from David Gil at Bennington Potters in Vermont. It is from the 1960's. 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.
This may be a very early tumbler as it uses the unglazed body of the piece as one of the three colors. The top and interior is glazed in a semi glossy white. The bottom is a very deep teal with undertones of blue in it. I believe this color was known as Mountain Green.
I own a sake bottle which was featured in the 1960 Vermont Life article about David Gil. It also features the use of the unglazed body. This tumbler stands 3 1/8 inches tall and carries the shape number 1227M. At present, I don't know what the letter M stands for. It is signed Bennington Potters VT with the letters filled in with the dark teal glaze. They are in excellent condition. Price is for the set.
