Burlon Craig 13" Swirl face with Fallen Eye DP3899

Born in 1914, Burlon Craig did not descend from a family of potters like others in the North Carolina region. Instead, in exchange for chopping wood, he learned the trade as a young teen from a neighbor, James Lynn, who taught him the distinctive style of pottery made in the Catawba Valley. Pottery then became a passion even as Craig continued farming.

This jug measures 13" tall. The base is 5.5". The piece is a kiln accident where the eye "blew" off and landed in a small vase. This piece does not ship so that the purchaser can see it first hand.
