Rodney Leftwich North Carolina Folk Art Face Jug – Handcrafted Southern Stoneware Pottery Sculpture
$395.00 USD
A bold and expressive North Carolina folk art face jug attributed to Rodney Leftwich, known for continuing the rich Southern face vessel tradition.
Hand-built in glazed stoneware, this sculptural jug features exaggerated brows, deeply set relief eyes, and an elongated nose, finished in earthy olive and brown tones with natural glaze movement from firing. The character-driven expression and textured surface give it strong presence and authenticity.
Face jugs have deep roots in the American South, particularly the Carolinas and Georgia, where they were historically made as both functional and symbolic objects. Today, they are highly collectible pieces of regional folk art.
