Face Jug Stoneware Pottery signed  Rodney Wit...? .
Face Jug Stoneware Pottery signed "Rodney Wit...?". Face jugs combine the utilitarian influences of early regional pottery with the unique imagination of individual pottery makers. In the mountains of Georgia, and the Catawba Valley, North Carolina, ugly faces, snakes and devils were added to Market Jugs beginning in the late 1800's. These embellished pots were used to buy & store liquor; the ominous features would scare children so they would not be tempted to try the contents. SIZE: see attached ruler photo.
