Marvin Bailey 10" Rock Tooth Folk Art Face Jug DP6591

This substantial face jug by South Carolina folk potter Marvin Bailey features a boldly sculpted face with wide turquoise eyes, heavy arched brows, a prominent nose, and oversized ears. Its open mouth reveals a row of irregular rock teeth, giving the jug a wonderfully animated, slightly startled expression.

A softly mottled green glaze with subtle blue-gray and earthy undertones covers the generously rounded vessel. The traditional narrow spout and applied handle preserve the classic Southern face jug form, while the exaggerated facial features reflect Bailey's distinctive sense of humor. With its full-bodied shape and strong sculptural presence, this impressive jug is an engaging example of contemporary Southern folk pottery and a distinctive addition to a face jug collection.

Measures 10" tall, about 9" wide, and has a 5.5" base.
