Bennington Potters Vintage Matte Green Shallow Bowl / Pie Pan Leslie Thompson pottery The carving does not quite

The carving does not quite stand up on its own

I think the design is really lovely

with minor dings and scrapes here and there

which I believe dates from sometime between 1900-1920

its maker has managed to make what is quite a striking and dynamic piece

Bennington Potters Vintage Matte Green Shallow Bowl / Pie Pan Leslie Thompson pottery The carving does not quiteI'm a green fan of Bennington Potters and also anything with a matte green glaze, so how to resist a low bowl with nice lines that is both? I believe this form is that of a pie pan, though I would be tempted to keep it on the counter most of the time filled with lemons or mandarin oranges or something else pretty. But I would definitely empty it to bake a beautiful quiche or apple pie and feel quite proud serving it! 9 3 16 in diameter x 1 5 8" tall.
