Quart-Sized Alkaline Glazed Crying Eyes Face Jug by Steve Abee

Description

Dive into the haunting beauty of Southern pottery tradition with this captivating quart-sized Crying Eyes Face Jug, masterfully crafted by Steve Abee. Made from native, local clay and fired in a traditional groundhog kiln, this piece is a stunning fusion of history, emotion, and artistry.

Coated in a rich alkaline glaze, the jug’s surface tells the story of fire and transformation. The jug’s hand-sculpted face features deeply expressive eyes, from which molten glaze has dramatically melted and dripped down, creating tear-like rivulets that evoke a profound sense of sorrow and intensity. This unexpected, organic effect makes each piece uniquely alive, blending controlled craftsmanship with the raw unpredictability of the kiln.

Perfect for collectors and admirers of pottery with a story, this Crying Eyes Face Jug is more than a vessel—it’s an emotional centerpiece, a conversation starter, and a reflection of the human spirit. Whether displayed on a mantel or added to a treasured collection, this jug embodies the rich heritage of Catawba Valley pottery like no other.

Claim this unforgettable work of art and bring the timeless power of Southern tradition into your home.
