Michael Mike Ball Tree Face Jug Catawba Valley Folk Pottery NC

Item Details

Description

Please refer to Lot #129 for more on Mike's background as it is helpful to understand of this collection being offered. This jug is a bit more fun and complex. The nose becomes a tree. And the ears of the face are leaves. Mike applies two handles and has his M stamp at the base of one handle and B at the other. There is firecrack to be noted on base, but this may be a one-of-kind pot and that is the reason this collector would have not been concerned with that issue. Stands 11"H

Condition

ALL POTTERY IS IN EXCELLENT AS FIRED CONDITION UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED IN THE DESCRIPTION.
