Object Name : Jug

Physical Description : Jug in orange-brown salt glaze depicting a protruding human face on each side.

Historical associations : The Martin Brothers were having fun when they made this jug. The face sticking out with a small grin is surprising - but not as much as discovering a second face on the other side! By putting these incredible features onto a jug, the Martin Brothers have made the mundane exciting and unique.
