Southern folk art face jug by North Carolina potter Michael Ball. The jug features prominent square white plate or tile shards used as buck teeth, along with smooth, concentric-ringed clay eyelids surrounding the eyes. Finished with a heavy alkaline ash glaze, the piece reflects the traditional Catawba Valley pottery style and expressive character associated with Ball’s work.
