Signed and dated 1996 on the unglazed foot, this piece is a beautiful example of the Kings' classic functional folk art style.
The glaze is the showstopper — a rich, deep oxblood/burgundy with gorgeous teal and blue-green drips that shift in the light, giving each angle a slightly different character. The generous round belly, narrow neck, and attached strap handle are hallmarks of traditional Southern jug-making.
