Greg Patton 6" Double Handle Edgefield Inspired Face Jug DP6273

This striking double-handled face jug by Greg Patton combines the expressive character of Southern face vessel traditions with a strong sculptural presence. The jug features a broad, animated face with wide, watchful eyes, a sharply defined nose, and a detailed toothy grin, all modeled directly into the clay. The exaggerated features give the piece a lively personality while maintaining connections to the historic face jugs of the American South.

Finished in a rich honey-brown alkaline glaze, the surface flows naturally across the form, highlighting the contours of the face and emphasizing the vessel's handcrafted nature. The unusual twin loop handles create a balanced architectural silhouette and distinguish the piece from more traditional single-handled examples.

Drawing inspiration from the historic Edgefield pottery tradition, Patton's work bridges folk pottery, sculpture, and contemporary ceramic art. The result is a vessel that feels both rooted in Southern history and unmistakably modern. Whether displayed alone or as part of a collection, this face jug offers strong visual impact and showcases Patton's ability to reinterpret a classic Southern form.

Measures 6" tall, about 5.75" wide and has a 3.5" base.
