FACE JUGS AND
JUGHEADSAN
AMERICAN CERAMIC
TRADITION
Face jugs are
sometimes called
Jugheads.
Face jugs were first made in the early 1800's by
slave potters.
Slaves turned pots,
pushed wheels,
made the pottery and loaded the
kilns in their free time.
Many pots were made to honor dead
relatives and
friends.
Most of these artists
names are unknown.
Face Vessels have been
found along the routes of
the Underground Railroad
and on gravesites .
Sometimes face jugs
were shown as mean or
the devil to keep
children away.
Once in a while
there is a double
face jug.
This one is a
triple face!
Many times face jugs are fun and
humorous.
What is different about this face jug?
This fellow seems to have a
problem. What is
the problem?
