1950's Bennignton Figural Pitcher

8"H x 6 1/4"L x 7"D Base Diameter: 4 1/4"

This exceptional example of mid-century Bennington Pottery showcases the artistry of its makers. While the celebrated Bennington Pottery name originates from the renowned 19th-century Vermont factory known for its stoneware, this piece hails from a later iteration of the company active in the mid-20th century. The pitcher's unique figural form, rendered in a rich brown drip glaze, displays remarkable character and expressive detail. The glaze itself, applied with masterful technique, exhibits the subtle variations in tone and texture characteristic of high-quality ceramic craftsmanship. This piece, dating from the 1950s, is a testament to the enduring appeal of handcrafted ceramics and represents a significant piece of mid-century design. While displaying minor wear (a small chip on the lip), it retains its considerable charm and remains a highly desirable collectible.
