Description
I have this fantastic FACE JUG for sale by the great
potter, Charles Lisk. This pottery face jug is exceptional. This wonderful piece measures
approximately 11” tall x 8 ½” wide ear to ear. It has an exceptional rich alkaline green glaze
with creamy glass drips running down from the shoulder. It also has great incising
detail around the shoulder and has two handles. His bushy brows, wide nose and
open mouth with 9 china teeth gives this guy so much character! This face jug is
signed Charles Lisk, Vale, NC and has the initials CL twice on the forehead. This face jug is in MINT condition. It also
has Charles thumb print at the base of each handle. Charles started doing
pottery at Pinehurst Pottery in Moore County for several years but moved to
Catawba County where Burlin Craig (BB Craig) was his close neighbor. Charlie
fired his pottery in a gas kiln, but he spent many hours watching and admiring
BB Craig techniques. Charlie developed an alkaline glaze and perfected his
swirl wares, but when his alkaline glaze didn’t turn out the same in a gas
fired kiln, he built his own groundhog kiln after BB Craig’s design and began
making face jugs along with a wide variety of pitchers, vases, etc. Charles
Lisk has quit making pottery, so to acquire a piece especially of this caliber
is a real FIND! This great face jug is a MUST to add to your collection!
