Meep Posted August 1 Report Share Posted August 1 I’ve only seen blue and brown but not purple. 0.58” I also know there are the green fancy ones. Do Benningtons come in all colors? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted August 1 Report Share Posted August 1 No doubt! Killer Keeper for sure. I consider this color combo to be HTF if not VHT. If someone has an example to post and think they are common please do. It’s not a knock off Bennington. 🔥 RAR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 Tricky! It does look like it was fired on the old school kiln racks. The reaction of the glaze on the prongs make sense. The prongs are hotter then the temperature in the kiln🔥 RAR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meep Posted August 2 Author Report Share Posted August 2 So it’s only a painted or dyed clay? Were these painted or dyed as a hobby? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buypast Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 Chad Are you saying the color of benningtons is the clay color? If not clay color where does the color come from? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 It’s a glaze. The same you find on pottery🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meep Posted August 2 Author Report Share Posted August 2 Are there glazed clays that are not Benningtons? Also, are there glazed clays that have colors other than the natural clay color? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question is, are these still considered antique? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
