Sturdier and more durable than redware, stoneware supplanted redware in the early 1800’s. With increasing foreign competition the many Bennington, Vermont pottery businesses entered decline in the latter 1800’s. David Gil founded Bennington Pottery in 1948 wanting to resurrect American fine artisanal pottery. During the decades under his stewardship Gil steered Bennington Pottery to such a level as to became a popular tourist destination. Unfortunately, the business permanently shut its doors in 2023.
