Steve Abee 6.5" Crying Eyes Screaming Wig Stand DP6188

This expressive face by Steve Abee exemplifies the enduring strength of the Catawba Valley pottery tradition while showcasing the artist’s bold sculptural style. Featuring an exaggerated open mouth, protruding lips, deeply modeled eyes, and a dramatic elongated neck, the piece commands attention from every angle. Finished in a rich dark alkaline glaze with natural movement and depth, the jug carries the spirit of traditional Southern face vessels while feeling distinctly contemporary.

Because Steve and other Catawba potters fire their pieces in their own wood-burning ground hog kilns, there is always an element of surprise when the pieces are unloaded. Steve and others of this area also use only locally dug clay and traditional wood-ash glazes.

This piece is 6.5" tall, 3" base and 5.25" wide.
