Bennington Potters make some incredible pottery. I love the different glazes they use, very unique. We spent quite awhile in the pottery store, but also went and took the self guided "tour". It's not much of a tour as you walk around and read the signs about the different steps. We got to talking with one of the workers there,... More

I was first introduced to Bennington pottery when I was given a piece as a gift. I absolutely love their products and now use it for my everyday dishes, serving bowls, mixing bowls and for most baking. I have visited the yard a few times, usually to check out the seconds. I have never had the opportunity to watch any... More

I grew up in Bennington. We used Bennington pottery, as did my friends to one extent or another. When I moved away it was one of the few things I insisted on getting for my own home. More

Very nice store with lots of different styles of pottery and linens, etc. Little pricey for the average buyer though, but they do have a bargain bin of pottery seconds. More

There is a great separate building of home furnishings, which is nice. The main shop has tons of great pottery and dining accessories. Easy to access. More

Visited Bennington Potters after stumbling on their website while searching for pottery dinnerware. The pottery is very nice but not totally hand made...some pieces are stamped out by machine. Thought prices should have been a bit less expensive since the process is somewhat automated. The store does have a seconds area where pieces may be purchased at a reduced price.... More
