"8-16-24. What the heck has happened to the once beautiful. Vibrant, VT based company. Abandoned property with no signs of any activity. Can't navigate their website to find out where they are making their once gorgeous pottery. Probably having china producing it. Shame on this once great business. I definitely don't recommend"

"If you have been dreaming about owning Bennington pottery dishes, buy them. You will never get over it, so just do it. In 1972, I was 16, and my parents were moving us from my wonderful Maine home to Ohio. We made a stop at the Bennington factory because my mother had a dream. She bought service for 8 and some serving pieces. My sister and I were each allowed to pick out a bowl and a cup for ourselves. The dishes were used every day and eventually it was no longer a service for 8, but I got those beautiful serving pieces. Fast forward 50 years and I never got over those dishes. My husband arranged for the arrival of four boxes this morning, packed to survive a lunar landing. I am attaching pictures of the 51 year old baking and serving pieces, along with my new dishes and the mountain of packing materials. Bennington staff, you are amazing, and thank you for making my dream come true!"

"Wide selection of quality merchandise and handmade stoneware in a beautiful setting. They carry a variety of pottery with different glazes, mix and match for a personal touch. Gifts include ornaments, seasonal items, table dressing, dish towels, and more. We stopped in to buy gifts for friends and ended up purchasing some pieces for our home. Be sure to check in the back of the store for reduced items (we scored a nice candle) and don't miss the working factory around back."
