Description
Cool vintage 1960's Bennington Vermont Potters Cooperative tile. At one time, this probably had rubber feet, but they have fallen off over the last 60 year. This was also created as decoration so there is a hanging wire on the top of the teardrop shape. Feel free to display on a wall or use as a trivet. It has the Bennington VT potters stamp on the back & 1561 which is the style or design number. There are two smudge marks on the white section that are original since glazing. Each tile is unique & different. Flaws are inherent in handmade pieces & this is no exception. Still a lovely piece. It measures 11 inches tall by 8 inches across by 1/4 inch thick. From their website: Bennington Potters began with a mission. David Gil, founder & owner operator from 1948 through 2002, was determined to design & bring to market beautiful, well-made ceramics in a production context. His artistry, his technical creativity, his commitment & his tenacity were the driving forces behind his vision & built the remarkable company that survives & thrives to this day. Inspired both by David, & his legacy a sacred cargo now in their hands those who worked with him continue along this path. Bennington Potters carries on the mission to make beautiful pieces offered at the lowest possible prices for everyday pleasure. Our artisan-crafted stoneware has always been made in America, right here in the Potters Yard in Bennington, VT. Our small Vermont company thrives by keeping the old, taking on the new, responding to changing times & practical circumstances, learning by doing. Bennington Vermont potters cooperative have been in existence since 1948. While there are still potters actively creating pottery, their store is currently closed. Current items can be purchased online. I search high & low for items for my store. I scour estate sales, flea markets, yard sales & consignment shops in & around Cape Cod. All my items are vintage. Some items may show wear, have a mild odor, or have some imperfections. If they do, I will note that in the listing. I like to buy good quality, good condition items that interest me & I hope they interest you too. But, all my items are used unless stated & minor imperfections should be expected. If the item is particularly heavy, I reserve the right to ship it via UPS ground or parcel post, & will provide you with tracking information. I also use all recycled boxes, bubble wrap, newspaper & other packing materials. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! Thanks for stopping by!
