Southern folk art temperance snake face jug by South Carolina potter Marvin Bailey. The jug features a glossy olive-brown alkaline glaze, a grimacing expression with inset teeth, and modeled snakes winding around the face and spout. The snake motif is associated with traditional temperance vessels, while the exaggerated features reflect Bailey’s whimsical folk art style.
