These wonderful, one of a kind face jugs are all hand made by artists in the Southeast. The origins of the "ugly" face jug tradition are mysterious, but people say the faces would keep children from sipping the whiskey traditionally stored within these jugs. Today, they are prized by collectors around the United States for their comical and sincere facial expressions. These are exciting works by American folk artists carrying on a generations-old Southern tradition.
Our prices for face jugs range from $65.00 up to $350.00, depending on the size and the artist who created the face jug. We are not able to publish face jug prices online, so please call about the pieces you are interested in.
