| Bennington Flint Enamel Pitcher
 Bennington Pottery eight-panel Pitcher with Flint Enamel Glaze and impressed 1849 mark. Lyman, Fenton & Co., Bennington, Vermont, 1848-1858. Flint Enamel Glaze was patented in 1849 by Christopher Webber Fenton of Lyman, Fenton & Co. of Bennington, Vermont, which in that year was to become the United States Pottery Company. In this technique, powdered metallic oxides were applied to a fired piece, which was then re-fired. During the firing the oxides ran together, producing the characteristic finish. It was a labor intensive process and so the period of production was during a relatively small time frame. Condition is outstanding and the pitcher is 7-1/8" high.
