Small, studio pottery, ugly face jug, signed WY. Almost certainly made in Alabama. This funny little guy is 5″ tall and made in a very primitive style. It is done in a brown clay, teeth and eyes painted white, and overall, black “antiquing” or accents. It is unglazed. The hole at the top is only about 3/8″ in diameter and does go all the way to the bottom. The inside of the head might not be totally hollow, but hollow enough to hold a bit of water if you wish to use it as a bud vase.
The bottom is signed, “W V” and has the number 3 under that, then perhaps 11 or Y. It could even be 3-11. Please see the photo of the bottom.
