This Greg Patton face jug is finished in a striking deep red-brown glaze, creating a glossy, reflective surface that accentuates the jug’s bold facial features. The arched brows, rounded eyes, and tightly formed mouth give the piece a focused, slightly intense expression. The traditional jug form, complete with handle and narrow neck, ties the work to the Edgefield pottery lineage, while the saturated glaze introduces a more contemporary visual weight. Subtle tonal shifts within the glaze enhance the contours of the face, reinforcing its sculptural presence.
This piece stands as a strong example of modern Southern face jug pottery, combining historical influence with a refined, collector-ready finish. Measures 6" tall, about 5.25" wide and has a 3.25" base.
