Vermont has rich pottery heritage, especially from Bennington:

  • Bennington Museum - Pottery Gallery and Study Center - Interprets the Norton Pottery (1785-1911) and United States Pottery Company (1847-1858) legacy. Norton Pottery began by making redware but switched to stoneware, gaining fame for brilliantly decorated stoneware featuring flowers, birds, and animals. This is a microcosm of 19th-century American pottery industry.
  • Bennington Potters - Handmade pottery in Vermont since 1948. Two store locations: downtown Bennington and Burlington. Famous for Trigger Mug and classic dinnerware sets.
  • eBay and Online Marketplaces - Vintage Bennington Potters pieces, Jean Paul Patenaude stoneware from Stowe, antique Julius Norton Bennington stoneware jugs available.
  • Etsy - Vermont pottery selection with unique or custom handmade pieces.

Bennington manufacturing began on small local scale in late 18th century, making it one of America's historic pottery centers.
