"Blue Moon"  Face Jug likes to show up every now and then just to let you know he's still around.  (You know, like an ex-husband! ). Kidding aside, it is when he shows up as a full moon twice in the same month.  Just like a pink moon isn’t pink and a worm moon isn’t crawling with worms, a blue moon isn’t actually blue.  One theory holds that the name is derived from the Old English word belewe, or “to betray”—perhaps since blue moons betray the normal schedule of full moons. This lunar rarity is also said to be the origin of the phrase once in a blue moon.

The moon has appeared blue in the past. After a massive volcanic eruption, the ash in the sky can sometimes block red light particles, giving the moon a bluish tint. According to NASA, this happened after Indonesia’s Krakatoa erupted in 1883, and again when Mexico’s El Chichón spewed its molten guts a century later.

   He has a nice ceramic lid so that you can keep spices, M&M's, or something special in him.  I am very pleased with how nicely "Blue Moon"  fired out. He was thrown on a potter's wheel, and his features were hand-sculpted.  His eyes and teeth are porcelain. This character would look great in any kitchen, bath, desktop, or any Face Jug collection.  The Glaze is food safe and it can go into the dishwasher. This face jug is initialed and dated by the artist.  It is one of a kind and was designed and made by me, Susi Nagoda Bergquist.
