Scoop Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Based on the photo... there's only a couple in that group that I would consider Bennington type... Most of them look to me like fancy colored clay.... The difference?? Bennington's have a thick heavy stoneware glaze that shows thin and thick areas and has "eyes" from where marbles touched, or sat in the firing... Fancy colored clays have a thin sort of glaze that almost looks "waxy." Yes, they may also show thinner and thicker areas of color and some have "eyes." But.... But.... Heck, I can't explain it!! They're just different!!!! Different clay, different glaze... LOL PS... Also, I think, if broken open, a Bennington type will have a very white porcelain type of clay base... The colored clays have a sandy brown, less "hard" clay... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
