This Vintage Stoneware Ball Pitcher is marked 547 Rum Rill (see 2nd photo)and has a tangerine color exterior paint. This is a primitive type Pitcher- there are no chips or cracks or nicks but the clay body has crazing and tanning on the inside and heavy clay look on the base. It's a great piece of country Stoneware with great presence!  This pair of low candleholders, standing only 1/2 inch high x 3 1/2 inches wide was made by the Onion River Pottery Company of Winooski Vermont. The city of Winooski's name is taken from the Abenaki language for "this is where the wild onions grow." So, Onion River Pottery makes perfect sense as a Vermont pottery name. Glazed in a dark blue which shows some of the mottling of the glaze over a red-clay base clay, this is an attractive pair of candleholders which would look perfect with either a Mid-century flavor or retro decor or a Country look. I think that the Onion River Pottery was somehow connected to another pottery company in Vermont called the Goss Pottery as they share similar styling, base clay color, shapes and glazes but further research is needed. Go green! Save resources and purchase a piece of America's past. Sturdy, dependable, dishwasher-friendly, it is ready for your kitchen table today.  This is a McCoy 16 piece Stoneware Dish Set in the Original Box. I don't believe it has been used. It consists of 4 Dinner Plates, 4 Bowls, 4 Salad/Dessert Plates and 4 Mugs (see 2nd photo). The Mugs have a McCoy mark on the bottom. I inspected all of the items- 2 of the dinner plates have a few minor scratches- they don't look like they are from utensils tho. Maybe somehow done thru the packing or storing process. The dinner plates and salad plates have very light uniform crazing on the surface. You can only see this when putting them under a bright light and looking at the surface sideways. Under normal circumstances, you do not see anything. I just try to inspect closely. See all of the photos for a better idea of the Set. This is a great Set for a McCoy collector- has the Original Box in OK shape with the McCoy and Mt. Clemens logo on it.  Vermont Studio potter Stanley Ballard (1917-1960) graduated from Alfred University’s highly respected Ceramic Program in 1939, having studied there while these influential teachers were part of the faculty: Marion Fosdick, Charles Harder, Clarence Merritt, and C.

Vermont Studio potter Stanley Ballard (1917-1960) graduated from Alfred University’s highly respected Ceramic Program in 1939, having studied there while these influential teachers were part of the faculty: Marion Fosdick, Charles Harder, Clarence Merritt, and C. Katherine Nelson. From 1937-1939 he was a classmate of Glidden Parker. He had his studio in Burlington Vermont from 1945 -1960 until his untimely tragic death in February 1960. Produced by Vermont Mid-Century studio potter Stanley Ballard who worked in the Burlington area, this #84 tall cyclindrical vase is the tallest in this shape, a massive 12 inches tall. It is done in one of the standard glazes, a yellow glaze with the standard chocolate underglaze showing at the blended top. It is signed with Mark #11, putting it toward the end of the 1950s. It is in excellent condition. Add it to your Mid-century Studio pottery collection today.  This Georges Scatchard early 4 1/4 inch tall x 4 1/4 inch wide at the mouth planter / vase is a good example of the work that Scatchard was doing in the 1970s and early 1980s before he decided to concentrate primarily on lamps. The inside of the rim shows the glaze which he used on the outside of the mug. You can see all the ridges of the hand thrown object. The outside of the goblet is done in tans and beiges and one can see both inclusions and the horizontal rings from the throwing. The mug is signed on the unglazed bottom G. SCATCHARD . A beautiful piece. Currently located in Underhill, Vermont, Georges Scatchard started from a converted horsebarn with his brother Ted in 1960. An article about the two Scatchard brothers and their ceramics was published in the 1967 Spring issue of Vermont Life on pages 38-42. According to the article, he was the only New Englander to receive a merit award for three items (all pottery) entered in the 1965-1966 New England Craft Council's exhibition for new and emerging craftsmen. His current website, gslamps.com, shows his current production and gives a brief history of his work.  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 from the mid 1950s time period when Gil used a transition mark which included both the words Design Cooperative and Bennington Vermont and a large arm symbol. 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. In their 1964 catalogue, Gil described their creations as "Art Objects in the Practical Realm" - Museum Honored, Hand-crafted, Modestly Priced," This fun and funky owl plaque can be seen in the 1964 as shape #1504. I believe this particular owl plaque is much earlier as the dimensions of the piece are larger than what is shown in the 1964 catalogue. This plaque uses the mid-1950 volcanic dark greenish gray background glaze. The highlight on the owl itself is a dark forest green. The two tone gray glaze forms the body of the owl. The back is stamped with a larger version of the Cooperative Design Bennington Vermont mark. On the back what looks like damage is really extra glaze which was sanded off. I have never seen this on the post-1960 pieces signed with the shape number 1504. You be the judge but I think this is the earliest version of the owl plaque I have seen. There is a wire hanger for using it as a plaque though it is an earlier system I think.  This piece was one of the designs of Yusuke Aida who worked with Gil from 1961-1964 and was responsible for the designs in the "Classic Bennington" line, a line of over 40 shapes whose pieces all fall within the 1620-1688 shape number range. This divided relish dish designed by Yusuke Aida for Bennington Potters measures 9 1/2 inches across in length x 6 5/8 inches across and is shaped with twin sectoins. The color was referred to as Tawny Brown in the original 1964 brochure. Notice the reddish highlights which come from the firing process. 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 by Raymor and sold in fine department stores. 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. Condition is excellent -- no chips, cracks, nicks, flakes, stains or other damage / problems.

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 version of the iconic double trigger mug stands 8 inches tall. This vase is glazed with a high gloss white glaze on the inside. The outside is done in a semi matte white. It dates from the 1948-1959 period before Gil used the term Bennington Potters on his pieces. According to yet to be authenticated information, the suggestion for the double trigger handle was given to David Gil by one Maurice A. Douglass, a resident of Bennington Vermont and a collector of early Norton Pottery. In the 1964 catalogue, there are 3 sizes of the double trigger mug shown but not this very tall #1372 size. This beautifully deisgned and balanced 1372 trigger mug is in excellent condition. Add it to your Mid-century Bennington Potters or David Gil collection today.  This lovely blue and white Delft type vase stands 6 1/4 inches tall. It is done in the traditional style and uses the windmill motif. It is signed only with the word Holland, which makes me think that it was produced prior to 1921. You be the judge. I picked it up very very reasonably and am happy to pass it along to a fellow dealer or a collector. Add it to your Delft or Holland blue and white collection today.  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 part of the tableware set designed by Gil with mold numbers 1365 (followed by a letter) and it is referred to as the "Old Bennington" collection. David Gil designed the pieces, largely beginning in the early mid fifties, not likely adding to the collection after Yusuke Aida came on board and was commissioned to design the next collection there, (the so-called "Classic Bennington") in 1961. Pieces from this series were produced well into - if not through -  the 70's, based on backstamp styles alone, as can be seen on the bottom of this piece. This is the 1365I 8 1/4" wide salad plate in a standard glaze color for this line. It is a dark teal color. It is in excellent condition. It is signed on the bottom with the stamped "bennington potters, bennington vermont" mark and the shape number 1365I.

Prior to changing the name to Bennington Potters around 1960, David Gil's company was known as Cooperative Design. There, he and other Alfred designers fashioned all sorts of interesting Mid-Century items. Having trained at Alfred University, Gil came to Bennington in 1948. His designs are included in many Mid-Century exhibits and catalogues. This is the #1342 rimmed covered casserole with metal bail handle. It is done in an early teal glaze. It measures 10 1/4 inches across x 7 inches wide. It has a lid which features a metal handle which was formed into the pottery. . It would make a great baking and/or serving dish as. It's a good-sized practical dish. It would look great with your McCobb or Eames buffet. The casserole bottom is marked 1342. The lid is marked 1342 C, most likely the C refers to it being the cover. There is a tiny pinpoint flake on top rim though it is so small it is just on the inside part of the top rim which slopes down toward the handle. It was there when I bought it and will be there when you buy it. I describe my items accurately. It is signed with the earlier transition mark which includes the words Bennington Potters and also Cooperative Design. This makes it more circa 1960-1961 than 1964.

The mark on the back shows that this piece, though a 1960s design, was produced later, probably in the early 1970s as it uses the lower case letters for all the words. It was meant to go with the #1537 12 oz. 3 inch tall Double Mug. Originally a dozen mug and saucers were priced at $30 a dozen in the 1964 catalogue.

This Georges Scatchard early 4 inch tall coffee mug is a good example of the work that Scatchard was doing in the 1970s and early 1980s before he decided to concentrate primarily on lamps. The inside is glazed in a deep chocolate brown which he also used on French onion soup handled bowls and wine goblets. You can see all the ridges of the hand thrown object. The outside of the goblet is done in tans and beiges and one can see both inclusions and the horizontal rings from the throwing. The mug is signed on the chocolate brown glazed bottom G. SCATCHARD. A beautiful piece. Currently located in Underhill, Vermont, Georges Scatchard started from a converted horsebarn with his brother Ted in 1960. An article about the two Scatchard brothers and their ceramics was published in the 1967 Spring issue of Vermont Life on pages 38-42.

Very good condition- light crazing appropriate to age with what I see in similar pieces. There is a spot in the unglazed ceramic that is either a little chip or where the ceramic did not fill in on the bottom edge (see 2nd photo). Use for your home bar or to fill in a missing Mug from a Set.  This is a 6 piece revolving Lazy Susan Server. It has a wooden base (picture 3) with a center Bowl with an Apple Fruit hand painted design (picture 2)and 4 outer compartments. It is not marked but screams Purinton Pottery to me. It is in excellent condition- no damage and no use that I can see.  Vermont Studio potter Stanley Ballard (1917-1960) graduated from Alfred University’s highly respected Ceramic Program in 1939, having studied there while these influential teachers were part of the faculty: Marion Fosdick, Charles Harder, Clarence Merritt, and C.

Produced by Vermont Mid-Century studio potter Stanley Ballard who worked in the Burlington area, this early studio vase is what would later be marked as a #20 shape. This vase has the early recessed base which is present only in his 1945-1948 work. It is his early mustard yellow glaze over the standard chocolate brown underglaze. What is unusual about this piece is that it is not marked with his inscribed mark, though it should be. It is in excellent condition.

Produced by Vermont Mid-Century studio potter Stanley Ballard who worked in the Burlington area, this #8 biomorhpic bowl was referred to in Ballard's brochure as a Birdwing bowl. It measures 8 1/4 inches long x 6 inches wide. Ballard often used this form for his rare decorated pieces, including the Horse, Fish and Chicken pattern as well as two wild abstract patterns. The color of this #8 Birdwing bowl is one of his early glazes. It is what I call cedar green. It is in excellent condition.

Kennedy or Paul T. Kennedy, brothers who formed Green Mountain Wood Crafters in Charlotte Vermont in 1937 and worked there until a fire in 1942. Post WWII, they were located in Bristol Vermont until 1959. They moved into the former Sheffield Farms building on Route 22A in Vergennes in 1960, adding a gift shop where tourists were able to watch the wood ware being made. From 1960-1980 they had several retail locations in Florida, New York, New Hampshire but the most successful was in downtown Burlington at the corner of College and Church street, now Sweetwater's restaurant since 1980, though the Kennedy family still owns the building. The earliest piece I have heard of is a pitcher dated 1947. I do not yet know when the pottery stopped operating. I now know that whichever brother was not involved with the wooden ware Vergennes operation opened a store in New Haven, VT which was operating as late as 1971 when an acquaintance's grandmother stopped and bought some pottery marked as Pittsfield Potters there. In excellent condition, it is glazed in a light gray glaze with bluish tones. The base clay appears to be a white earthenware. It is marked with the incised initials MKP and Bristol, VT. Add it to your Vermont Art Pottery or Mid century Art Pottery collection today  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 but not including the original Cooperative Design name in the mark. This plate carries the number 1240. . 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 and is signed with an early large version of the Cooperative Design Bennington Potters mark. The piece features a very stylized and abstract design of four rows of colored dots in black circles separated by black lines done in shades of pumpkin orange, teal, daffodil yellow and a purplish blue color on a glossy white glaze. A great fun and funky piece in excellent condition. Looks likes lots of olives ready for a retro vintage martini! 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.

David Gil Coop Design #1202 7 inch teardrop Musician in very early glossy white glaze, with the COOP Man/hand logo partially visible still at the top AND the rectangular Cooperative Design Bennington Vermont mark as well as .99 in black ink. It does not have the rough unglazed rim of the earliest pieces thus I am fairly confident this is a slightly later piece circa 1960. In 1960 most pieces added the words Bennington Potters to the incised mark. I have other designs in this teardrop series which carry the Raymor label. I recently purchased the same design in white glaze, making it easier to see that the instrument is a clarnet.It is in excellent shape. 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 1200. 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.  Done by Lincoln Vermont potter Marcy Mayforth, this is a 1988 dated 10 1/2 inch wide x 4 3/4 inch deep mixing bowl. The design is done in the sgraffito technique, then filled in as in an enamel piece. There are five light and dark blue hanging hearts with the leaves forming a band around the top of the outside neck on the piece, which is signed Mayforth 88 on the bottom. It is in excellent shape. It is a big and practical piece of Vermont Art Pottery by a well-known and well-respected Vermont potter.

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.

Made in Bristol Vermont, this Moutain Kiln Pottery 5 inch tall ( to the top of the stopper) was made by either John F. Kennedy or Paul T. Kennedy, brothers who formed Green Mountain Wood Crafters in Charlotte Vermont in 1937 and worked there until a fire in 1942. Post WWII, they were located in Bristol Vermont until 1959. They moved into the former Sheffield Farms building on Route 22A in Vergennes in 1960, adding a gift shop where tourists were able to watch the wood ware being made. From 1960-1980 they had several retail locations in Florida, New York, New Hampshire but the most successful was in downtown Burlington at the corner of College and Church street, now Sweetwater's restaurant since 1980, though the Kennedy family still owns the building. The earliest piece I have heard of is a pitcher dated 1947. I do not yet know when the pottery stopped operating. I now know that whichever brother was not involved with the wooden ware Vergennes operation opened a store in New Haven, VT which was operating as late as 1971 when an acquaintance's grandmother stopped and bought some pottery marked as Pittsfield Potters there. In excellent condition, it is glazed in a dark luxurious teal glaze. The base clay appears to be a white earthenware. It is marked with the incised initials MKP and Bristol, VT.

Add it to your American Mid Century Art Pottery or Hull collection today. It is a big impressive piece of pottery.  Vermont Studio potter Stanley Ballard (1917-1960) graduated from Alfred University’s highly respected Ceramic Program in 1939, having studied there under these influential teachers: Marion Fosdick, Charles Harder, Clarence Merritt, and C. Katherine Nelson. From 1937-1939 he was a classmate of Glidden Parker. He had his studio in Burlington Vermont from 1946 -1960 until his untimely tragic death in February 1960. Produced by Vermont Mid-Century studio potter Stanley Ballard who worked in the Burlington area, this shape seems to be one of the early ones by Ballard which didn't make it to the later production period. The vase measures 5 1/2 inches high x 5 1/4 inches wide. The opening is 4 1/4 inches long x 2 3/8 inches wide. Each one I own either has no shape number or is number 21 with the early chocolate brown band around the bottom dating it from his middle period of production. This vase carries both the shape number and the Ballard signature but they are very faint. The chocolate underglaze can be seen at the top, the inside, and underneath the mottling on the body. This early white glaze is stunning. The glaze is a standard early shade of blue he used often. The vase is in excellent condition. A very interesting shape and glaze combo by Stanley Ballard. Add it to your American Art Pottery collection or Studio pottery collection today.  Made by the Muncie Pottery Company of Muncie Indiana, this #404 6 inch tall vase in the desirable matte white over rose glaze is marked with the MUNCIE incised mark as well as the IA mark which is identical to the one shown on page 33 of the 1999 Muncie Pottery book by Jon Rans and Marck Eckelman.

Katherine Nelson. From 1937-1939 he was a classmate of Glidden Parker. He had his studio in Burlington Vermont from 1946 -1960 until his untimely tragic death in February 1960. Produced by Vermont Mid-Century studio potter Stanley Ballard who worked in the Burlington area, this #5 6 1/2 inch square ashtray in a standard yellow glaze is an earlier example of a standard Ballard shape. Heavier in weight than later examples, it is signed with an incised signature S Ballard Vermont 5. Excellent condition.  This beautiful Roseville jardiniere is from the Futura line of the Roseville Pottery Company. This piece was produced by the Roseville Pottery Company in 1928. It comes in two colors combinations, this one in what is referred to as the gray pink combo is the scarcer of the two. Shown on page 37 of the Collectors' Compendium of Roseville Pottery by Randall B. Monsen, printed in 1995, one can see it clearly there. The jardiniere was produced in a 6 inch, 7 inch, 8 inch, 9 inch and 10 inch size. This is the hard to find 9 inch jardiniere.  Standing 4 1/4 inches tall x 3 1/2 inches wide, this Vermont contemporary deepy incised decorated covered jar was made by Patrick Kennedy of Newark Vermont as his label on the bottom clearly states. He also has a stamped symbol which I can see now is a conjoined P and K to form his stamp. This is a covered jar glazed on the inside but left rough on the outside. The deep chocolate brown layer can be seen through the cameo cuttings on the outside layer. Very interesting. I could find little on the artist. If you have any information, please pass it along.

This Georges Scatchard early 5 inch tall x 7 3/4" wide hanging planter is a good example of the work that Scatchard was doing in the 1970s and early 1980s before he decided to concentrate primarily on lamps. The rim has three holes for hanging. Ah, remember macramé!! There are another three drainage holes in the bottom of the planter which would carry excess water to the attached underplate. The inside rings clearly on this hand thrown piece as well as the body of the stoneware itself and where the drip glaze was place. You can see all the ridges of the hand thrown object. The outside of the goblet is done in tans and beiges and one can see both inclusions and the horizontal rings from the throwing. The overglaze on this piece is done in shades of blues and greens and has an abstract design. The plnater is signed on the unglazed bottom G. SCATCHARD. A beautiful early piece. Currently located in Underhill, Vermont, Georges Scatchard started from a converted horsebarn with his brother Ted in 1960. An article about the two Scatchard brothers and their ceramics was published in the 1967 Spring issue of Vermont Life on pages 38-42. According to the article, he was the only New Englander to receive a merit award for three items (all pottery) entered in the 1965-1966 New England Craft Council's exhibition for new and emerging craftsmen. His current website, gslamps.com, shows his current production and gives a brief history of his work.  This is an absolutely beautiful Chinese Vase from the Early 1900's. The colors are vibrant and I can't see any repairs. I had a Chinese Arts dealer look at it to confirm the era. It is 16 1/2 inches in height, top opening is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2. Body of vase is 6 3/4 x 6 3/4. Base is 4 3/4 x 4 3/4. Multiple Chinese characters depicted on two dies. Lanscape, dwelling and vase on opposite two sides. All sides are decorated with reds, greens and yellow on white. No signature on the bottom.  Vintage crock with a painted scene. The scene is fishermen in boat on pond with fench along the side. Nice browns, sandtones and rust colors. Very unusual piece. Signed By-Jc33. Wish we knew more. It is 8 1/4 inches in height, 4 inches diameter at opening and 4 5/8 inches on base. It looks handpainted many years ago.  Old McCoy Tankard Set with green glaze and old shield marks. It's in the Barrel design and is in very good condition.
