NORTON / BENNINGTON, VT.," circa 1855, straight-sided crock with handles, decorated with an artistically slip-trailed design of a hawk with large, well-detailed wings, flying above a scene of sloping hills, three fences, ground cover, and a tree. A rising sun with rays peaks above a valley at the center of the crock. Both the hawk and rising sun designs are considered rare decorations on Norton stoneware, and American stoneware in general.
