Greg Patton 6" Face Jug w/Stopper Celedon Green Glaze DP 6184

This Greg Patton face jug features a distinctive soft celadon-green glaze that gives the piece a quieter, more atmospheric presence while maintaining the expressive energy of the traditional Southern face vessel form. Finished with a natural cork stopper, the jug bridges sculptural folk pottery with functional vessel traditions.

The face is defined by wide, alert eyes, a sharply modeled nose, and a tightly detailed toothy mouth, all sculpted directly into the clay with Patton’s characteristic attention to personality and expression. Applied ears and a generous looping handle reinforce the classic vessel structure, while subtle glaze movement and exposed clay accents emphasize the handmade quality of the piece.

Drawing inspiration from the historic Edgefield pottery tradition, Patton updates the Southern face jug through a more contemporary glaze palette, creating a work that feels both historically grounded and visually fresh. A strong example of contemporary Southern folk pottery, this face jug offers collectors a compelling balance of tradition, craftsmanship, and expressive form.

Measures 6" tall, and has a 3.5" base.
