A new TRIP original Southern Pottery Face Jug.
This whimsical "Church Lady" Face Jug is an original piece of Alabama folk art from TRIP (
Tennessee River Inspirational Pottery).
Face jugs have a long tradition in the American South - slaves made
them to put on graves, and they are often grotesque or frightening.
TRIP face jugs are different - they are often whimsical, and they are
inspirational as well as decorative. Each piece is marked on the bottom
with a Bible verse. The "Church Lady" has Romans 10:9 - "That if thou
shalt confess
with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that
God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."
Potters : Trotwood and Amanda Mance , Grant, Alabama
Markings : TRIP, Romans 10 - 9
Approximate Measurements : 7" Tall, 6" Across Bottom, 8" Tip of Nose to Tip of Handle
