I have for your consideration a vintage Bennington Potters ceramic lion bank. This bank was designed and made in the in the 1960’s by David Gil at the Bennington facility in Vermont and is a very nice and collectable mid-century modern piece of ceramic art, as well as a coin bank. It is marked on the bottom “Bennington Potters, VT * 1656”. There are no crack...s, chips or any other damage at all to this lion and the red stopper is intact as well. It retains all of its original tawny gold glaze with mottling (the dark spots, which are not defects or damage). I have thoroughly cleaned this piece, so any marks that are visible in the photos are original and were there after glazing. The overall length is 12” and it is almost 6” high at the mane. This piece should make a wonderful addition to any Mid-Century modern or Bennington collection. Winning bidder shall pay a flat fee of $14.35 US to the US only for USPS Priority shipping.
