“
face jug
”
by Ohio art potter Brandon Knott:
"
These jugs are the artwork of Brandon Knott. He puts his talents and effort into each piece of unusual folk art.
Still, he doesn’t blame you if you call one of his “face mugs” — a pot-like jug with a sculpture of a face on the side — ugly jugs. He likes the term.
“As far as I know,” Knott says, “I’m the only one in our region that makes what I like to call ‘ugly jugs.’”
It’s a type of craft often used in Southern states such as Georgia and South Carolina.
According to Knott, the owner of “It’s Knott Pottery” studio in farmland west of Continental in Putnam County (Ohio), these unique sculptures have an interesting history that spans different parts of the world.
“From what I understand, at first they started doing jugs like that in England to store acid to inform people that the contents of the jug were dangerous,” he said. “They would put a really ugly face on the side of it to discourage kids from getting into the contents. It also has a lot of history of African-American folk art.” [from limaohio.com]
Good condition, large pitcher has an impact mark on its upper lip. There’s a corresponding divot on the inside of the jug. Signed on the underside KNOTT and has the inked number 145.
Dimensions: 7.5” maximum diameter x 11.5” tall
Weight: 4 lb 5 oz
