Billy Joe Craven 10" Can I Help You Face Jug DP6472

his expressive face jug by Gillsville, Georgia potter Billy Joe Craven features oversized ears, a prominent nose, textured brows, glass eyes, and an open mouth set with individually applied teeth. The elongated face gives the jug a strong presence, balancing humor with the exaggerated features traditionally associated with Southern face-jug pottery.

The neutral cream and gray surface is accented by darker glaze flowing from the neck and down the sides of the head in pronounced drips. These irregular glaze runs emphasize the handmade nature of the piece and create a striking contrast against the lighter body. Full of personality and visual texture, this jug is a distinctive example of Craven's contemporary interpretation of the Southern face jug tradition.

This piece is 10" tall, about 7" wide and with a 5" base. 

Ships for $20. Because of the high shipping cost, pottery does not ship outside the continental USA.
