Rare Bennington Pottery Flint Enamel Butter Dish c.1849 Description - This is a Lyman Fenton & Co. Bennington Vermont Flint Enamel Rare Covered Butter Dish. This exact Butter Dish is shown on page 93, Plate 125 of the book "Bennington Pottery & Porcelain" by Richard Barret. The copy I have is dated 1958. The plate indicates that this is an Extremely Rare Flint Enamel Table Article. According to the same reference, the mark on this piece was a common mark used on Flint Enamel Ware, and also on Rockingham, and was used 1849-1858. I am reasonably sure that this is Flint Enamel and not Rockingham, but I'm no expert on Bennington Pottery. Size - A little over 5 1/4" tall to the top of the finial and almost 7 3/4" in diameter. Estimated 5 pounds packed weight for shipping. Condition - In my opinion, the condition of this piece is very good overall, especially considering the age and fragility of the piece. The following description makes the damage that it has appear worse than it really is, however it definitely has some issues! And while it has some damage, it's very old and very rare. Please note that the photos show a lot of white glare spots. Please don't confuse these with damage. 1. The dome has 2 small chips and 2 small glaze flakes around the outer edge of the rim. Neither of the chips is deep and the largest measures about 3/8" by 1/8". It appears that the finial probably has been repaired, but the repair is good and can't be seen without careful inspection. I say probably because t's no indication at the inside top of the dome that the finial was broken off. It's possible that this is not a repair, but rather some sort of factory fix before firing. 2. The underplate has 2 chips, a glaze flake, and a nick that all show from the top. The largest chip, which has an old unusual looking repair, is about 1" long and 3/8" wide. The smaller chip is about 3/4" long and 1/8" wide. T are also 4 or 5 other small nicks and flakes on the underside of the bowl, but these don't show unless you turn it upside down. T is also 1 small hairline that can be seen with careful inspection, but it is short and minor. Marks - As you can see, the mark is mainly glazed over, but reads "Lyman Fenton & Co." around the top edge of the circle and "Bennington Vermont" around the bottom edge. According to my reference, the center of the mark should read "Fenton's Enamel Patented 1848". However, on my piece t appear to be 3 impressed "P"s randomly in the center and an impressed "PA" at the lefthand edge, between the "L" in Lyman and the "B" in Bennington.
