ANTIQUE HANDMADE ROCKINGHAM GLAZE BROWN STONEWARE SPITTOON BY BENNINGTON POTTERY

This antique spittoon was handmade by Bennington Pottery in Bennington, Vermont.
As a relatively large spittoon, it is made of stoneware and features a special glaze known as a Rockingham glaze. The Rockingham glaze was common in Britain and the United States around 1840-1900 to created a manganese-brown/tanish yellow speckled look.
The round body part of this spittoon has a design of patriotic shield shapes that goes all the way around.
There is one round whole on one side of the body of the spittoon, and one in the center of the top.
This spittoon is in good condition for its age. The glaze has held up very well, there is only slight crazing along the declining inner part. The top portion of the spittoon was cut open at one point and reattached, and it can be seen very obviously. There are also a few chips along the edge go the bottom.
The spittoon measures 9" in diameter x 4" tall and weighs 3.5 pounds before packaging.
