The “Billy Joe Jug”
In 1794, Peter Craven, a potter and ancestor of Billy Joe Craven, arrived in the Northeastern part of the United States. As immigrants migrated South in the 1800’s, the Craven family found the clay of North Georgia to be a source for making utilitarian pottery. The original focus was on functionality, any artistic appeal was a bonus to the Craven Pottery.
Individual characteristics of each piece of pottery enabled each person to identify their person water or whiskey jug.
This face jug has individual character like no other jug in the world. This unique piece of pottery was handmade and signed by Billy Joe Craven. It was glazed and fired to 2300°F and is food safe.
This fun face jug has a lot of personality! It was hand-sculpted from red Georgia clay here in Gillsville, GA by Billy Joe Craven at Craven Pottery, Inc. The glaze is a nice bright red. Don't miss your chance to own this great piece of folk art!
