The Charles "Bullet" Dean Hyten House is a historic house in Benton, Arkansas, significant for association with Charles Hyten and Niloak pottery. Hyten and Arthur Dovey together created a pottery process in 1909 that achieved swirling of different colors and types of clay, yet held together without shattering when baked in a kiln. The process was patented by Hyten in 1928. It was the basis of the Arts and crafts movement-era Niloak's Art pottery line.[1]
"Niloak" is "kaolin" spelled backwards, hmm.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.[1]
