VOICES OF EXPERIENCE When labeled or attributed to Bennington, prices can soar over other makers of Rockingham. Basically Bennington is yellow ware that is streaked or dappled with a lustrous manganese brown glaze; some is tortoise-shell or spattered yellow. Early Rock ingham had what was called a “Flint” glaze. Later, a color-fleck glaze was used by Christopher Webber Fenton, who had inher ited (through his wife) the origi nal pottery works in Bennington from Captain John Norton, founder. Rockingham pottery has Eng lish roots, named after the Mar quis of Rockingham, who pro duced it at his Swinton pottery in England, in a brownish color. When Fenton came into con trol of the Bennington works, it was his goal to make it the “Staffordshire of America.” Staffordshire was the most popu lar pottery imported from Eng land. The wares made at his United States Pottery Company in Bennington became so in de mand in mid-century America that about 100 factories around the country began copying Ben nington’s forms and glazes. One of the first places to produce it was East Liverpool, Ohio and then in Pittsburgh and Baltimore. By the turn-of-the-century simi lar pieces were being made in Pe oria, Illi- no i s However, SAT., JULY 13TH, 2002 LOCATED 4 MILES EAST OF BEDFORD OFF ROUTE 30 AT NARROWS BRIDGE TO 326, THEN FOLLOW SIGNS AT THE KENNETH BEEGLE PROPERTY HOUSEHOLD, ANTIQUES, & REAL ESTATE 6 pane corner cupboard, blind door cupboard/drawer, 8 pc. mahogany dining room suite, glass front book case, 2 empire chest of drawers, pillar front chest of drawers, oval oak ext table, 2 pc living room suite, recliner, drop leaf table, 5 plank bottom chairs, desk & chair, dresser/mirror, wood bench, plant stands, child’s rocker, night stands, card table & chair, hospital bed, auto washer & dryer, refrigerator, 30” elec, stove, convection oven, new air conditioner, U.C.P., wall mirror, stereo, 2 single cherry beds, spindle back rocker, tread mill, modem dresser, single bed (fancy), high chair, fancy double bed, porcelain pull dresser, elec sewing machine, hickory rocker, wood cradle, slat back rocker, lawn & porch furniture, porch swing, wringer washer, upright freezer, crocks, jugs, jars, pots, pans, dishes, elec appliances, glassware, 12 pc dmnerware set, 2 humidifiers, colored TV, knick knacks, elec lift chair, elec roaster, gramteware, picture frames, lawn chairs, quilt frame, braided rugs, towels, blankets, spreads, toy chest, baby crib, shelf clock, gas grill, elec heater, Troy Bilt tiller, weedeater (gas).

When the United States Pottery featured pitchers, ums and figures with their variations of the flint glaze, at the Crystal Palace Exhibit in London in 1851 and in New Yorks’ Crystal Palace Exhibit in 1853, they became an instant hit. Sixty other American pot teries also exhibited Rock ingham pieces at the exhi bits. CLUES: Pieces made at Bennington from 1845-1847 were often marked “Norton and Fen ton.” Other marks in cluded “Lyman Fenton & Co., Bennington, Vt., 1849 through 1850 s; the U.S.P, ribbon mark from 1852-1858. Some pieces were unmarked. Many potteries copied the most popular Benning ton pieces, such as the ani mal figures, coachman bottles, and toby jugs The hound-handled pitcher, made originally by United States Pottry in 1843 among them. Collectors look for the various figures with the most interesting glazes The rarest and most expensive figures are the large, molded animals. A helpful hint: it’s probably a rare Bennington lion fig ure if the lion’s front paw is raised and resting on a ball. Hundreds of different pitcher designs, colors and shapes were made at Ben- (Turn to Page B 19) PUBLIC SALE 9:00 A.M. KATHERINE BOYLE STEPHEN BEEGLE EXCTRS. PA. OnSITE AUCTION CO.
