Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this superb 1 1/2 Gallon Stoneware Cream Pot made and stamped by "J. Norton & Co., Bennington, VT."   
 
This is the work of Julius Norton and his cousin, Edward Norton who worked in Bennington using this mark from 1850-1859 (William Ketchum, Jr., American Stoneware, pp, 42).
