"Traditionals" Collection

"Traditionals" are Bennington's time-honored spatterware glazes. They consist of two glazes, a tone-on-tone spattering that is most recognized as "The Bennington Look". Our Traditionals pottery glazes are called Blue Agate ("ag get"), Black on Green, and Morning Glory Blue.

Blue Agate Glaze

Bennington's signature glaze and most popular with our customers. A thick spatter of deep cobalt on a warm clay underglaze, this color is one that works well with a wide variety of kitchen, dining room, and country home decors.

Black on Green Glaze

This rich green and black combination translates the time-honored tartan watch plaid colors into a warm, country look. If you love the saturated greens of summer gardens and winter holidays, this is the glaze for you.

Morning Glory Blue Glaze

Bright and cheerful, our light blue glaze is wonderful with white, yellow and other brights. Envision a clear blue morning sky or bright morning glory flowers - you've got the picture.

"Elements" Collection

"Elements" are simple, comfortable, matte glazes on a white clay base. These new glaze designs were retrofitted for easy blending with nearly any decor from modern to traditional. They are perfect for gifting.

Elements Blue Glaze

This glaze color evoluted from our "Old Bennington Blue" glaze of years past. Visualize a deep sea blue or darkened sky blue and you've got it. It's a retro color that matches well with Smoky Topaz (formerly Mustard) glaze and lends itself very nicely to rooms with whites, browns, tans, or soft blues.

Elements Green Glaze

This glaze is a deep pine green that works nicely in country home decors and log cabins. It's a retro glaze we brought back at the request of Potters Yard customers. Green Emerald is a wonderful color if you appreciate woodlands and winter pines.

Elements Gold/Mustard Glaze

If you've been a collector of our Mustard glaze, not to worry, Gold is still the same soft mustard glaze color and will match your existing collection. We renamed the glaze to give it a fresh look for our new customers, but past customers will know this wonderfully time-tested glaze the instant they see it!

"Organics" Collection

"Organics" are a more sophisticated matte-finished glaze on mahogany clay bodies, designed for a collector that appreciates pottery with warm, rich hand-crafted appeal. Examples are Blackberry, Cinnamon and Chocolate. These pottery glazes will add a contemporary feel to your country home decor. Blackberry has been a runaway best seller!

Organics Blackberry Glaze

It's our tribute to Vermont blackberries, this colorful glaze is the one you want if you appreciate colorful table settings consisting of handmade, unique stoneware. Over the years we've introduced several new glaze colors at Potters Yard store, but none have been so well received so quickly by our customers.

Organics Chocolate Glaze

OK, some of us simply love chocolate! So why not celebrate this delicious treat with pottery to match? This matte-finished glaze with its' mahogany clay body is a specialty color just for our customers who love the deep, rich browns.

Organics Cinnamon Glaze

Our newest Organics Glaze color, Cinnamon is a potters experimentation. If our Organics Chocolate is too dark, Elements Emerald Green isn't your color, everyone has Smoky Topaz (Mustard), then perhaps it's time to try a glaze color that's all new and handmade in limited quantities.

"Tavernware" Collection

"Tavernware" is a rubbed finish, burnished and is a rediscovered handmade finishing technique that lends itself well to rustic and contemporary dinnerware settings. A Bennington Potters original, this collection combines our simple, organic designs and a classic matte glaze, which is hand-rubbed to highlight the deep mahogany clay body. The resulting finish is a unique, soft tawny brown with an intriguing variation to each piece, reminiscent of early American pottery.

Tawny Tavernware Glaze

If you're tired of big box store, mass-produced dinnerware, bakeware and serving pieces... If you're looking for something different to entertain guest with... If you want designer handmade pottery in your home that's reminiscent of how food might have been served in taverns and colonial homes, tavernware is for you.

Art Pottery Glaze/Mt Equinox

Mt Equinox pottery is our potters Art Pottery glaze and is produced on pieces one at a time and in very limited quantities. Though fully functional pottery, our customer generally purchase Equinox pottery to decorate their homes. Each piece is a delightful splattering of blue and greens.

Mt Equinox Glaze

Did we mention that only a few hundred Mt Equinox pottery shapes are made each year. They are the best of the best here at Potters Yard. You won't find a lot of retail space in our Vermont store dedicated to these pieces, but don't be mistaken, they still generate a lot of attention from our customers.

Limited Production Glazes

Over the years we've made a large number of pottery shapes and experimented with lots of glaze colors and textures. If you have a specific pottery color question, please feel free to send us an email, or give us a call at 800-205-8033.

Cobalt "Starry Skies" Blue Glaze

A bright cobalt blue that often got confused with our Traditional Blue Agate glaze above. In order to eliminate the confusion we had to limit the production of the color, but occassionally pieces can still be found at the Potters Yard store or through our dealers throughout the country.

Morning Glory Yellow Glaze

Currently this glaze is in limited production and will not be back in production again until 2009. Very similiar to our Morning Glory Blue Agate and Morning Glory Pink splatterware glaze, this glaze has a French Country charm.

Morning Glory Pink

A very popular glaze color and some pieces are still available at our Potters Yard store, but going fast. This Morning Glory Pink splatterware is very similar to our Morning Glory Blue Agate glaze shown above. If you're a collector of Bennington Pink on White pottery, you've got some unique, hard to find pieces.

White on White Glaze

Another glaze color in limited production, White on White is only available certain times, in limited quantites and may be available in only some shapes. Call Bennington Potters for current inventory - (800) 205-8033 x10. It is possible that this glaze color will come back into production. After all, none of our glazes are ever completely discontinued. We simply don't have enough potters to make all our pottery shapes in all glazes, all the time.

Spring Green

This glaze practically shouts spring time! One of our signature spatter glazes, you'll only see this in production once in a while, so be sure and add it to your collection to bring out the myriad of greens you'll see in the garden year round.

Satin Black

A very seductive matte glaze with a truly luscious sheen! This is a glaze worth watching for and one which works well with all of our other colors. A must have addition for the serious collector. Think tuxedos and evening gowns!

Black on Slate

Another of our custom spatter glazes, Black on Slate is just a bit more understated than the others and has a very contemporary, sophisticated feel. A real find for the collector and well worth the wait - call to see what's on hand in our Potters Yard store.

Satin White

A matte glaze with class! This glaze doesn't often go into production because of the difficulty of keeping white – well, white! It is definitely worth asking us about this one – we never say never!

Turquoise

A very jewel like glaze that coordinates well with many of our other glazes – try it with Chocolate – yummy! Don't confuse it with Elements Blue – they're two distinctly differently animals. This one may make a comeback. Call and ask – we listen to our customers!
