ceramic vase, often referred to as a "face jug" or "ugly jug,". This type of pottery is characterized by its grotesque or humorous human-like features, including a face and sometimes arms or other appendages. Face jugs originated in the 19th century among enslaved African American potters in the Edgefield district of South Carolina. The pottery often served a practical purpose, but the faces were sometimes intended to ward off evil spirits or to represent ancestors.
