Blue Grotesque Face Jug by well known North Carolina Artist Charles Lisk. This is a signed Popular and Very Collectible Face Jug 9" in height by one of the South's most well known artist. This jug is signed on the bottom by Charles Lisk, Vale, North Carolina. Charles graduated from Appalachian State University in 1975. After only one class in pottery, he decided that he wanted to spend his life as a potter. He worked for Pinehurst Pottery in Moore County for several years as his training step. He and his wife Nancy moved to Catawba County where none other but Burlon Craig was a close neighbor. He spent many hours watching and admiring Burlon's techniques. Charles developed a alkaline glaze and he perfected his swirl wares. In 1985 he built his own groundhog kiln after Burlon's design and began making face jugs, along with a wide variety of wares including pitchers,vases,teapots,mugs and old storage vessels. He became famous for his beautiful swirl ware in two to six alternating colors.
