Available today — a devil face jug by Pennsylvania potter Kevin Haney of Mad Dog Pottery.

Haney is known for his expressive character jugs, often featuring exaggerated facial features, wide eyes, and toothy grins. His work leans into a playful folk-art style, with each piece individually hand-modeled so no two are exactly alike.

This example has great personality with applied horns, a big grin, and nice glaze movement across the face.

Feel free to reach out if interested. Always glad to talk pottery.

Karen Labarga is known among collectors for her expressive face jugs and devil forms that draw inspiration from the long tradition of Southern folk pottery while maintaining her own distinctive style.

Otis Norris Candelabra Face Jug – #1
June 2004

Offered here is a sculptural candelabra form by South Carolina potter Otis Norris, featuring multiple candle sockets and two applied snakes across the head.

Norris was drawn to the historic Southern face jug tradition and developed a distinct style that set his work apart from traditional Edgefield and North Carolina examples.

By the early 2000s, he was known for numbered, dated pieces — a detail collectors appreciate for tracking his stronger, character-driven period.

Marked #1 and dated June 2004, this is a bold early 2000s example with great presence. 11.25" H.

Collectors know the pieces that truly stand out aren’t just decorative — they carry presence, personality, and a story.

This impressive 22" face jug by Billy Ray Hussey is a great example. Strongly modeled with an expressive face and finished with beautiful multi-colored glaze runs across the back, it’s the kind of work that continues to define the strength of the Southern face jug tradition and why it remains so compelling to collectors.

Even in a house full of pottery, some pieces naturally draw attention — Owen made sure this one didn’t go unnoticed.

I’m always buying, placing, and handling important contemporary and traditional Southern pottery at McDaniels Antiquary. If you’re searching for a particular maker, form, or standout example for your collection, feel free to reach out — I’m always happy to connect when the right pieces surface.
