Information |
For the Christmas season in 1985 ceramist Charlotte Potok collaborated with cartoonist Ed Koren to create containers to hold Vermont maple syrup, eggs, cream, cheese, coffee, and Ben & Jerry's ice cream. In an article with the Boston Globe, the two Vermonters noted that these products were entirely marketed out of state where the "Vermont" brand was highly desirable. |
