JUGTOWN POTTERY Creamer Sugar Signed BEN OWEN MASTER POTTER North Carolina Ware For Sale

Vintage Jugtown Pottery Creamer and Sugar featuring Tobacco Spit Brown Glaze signed by the Master Potter Ben Owen.
Our mother was a potter and took us to Ben Owen\'s shop in North Carolina to meet him, study his clay body, and purchase his work. This was in the mid 1960s. We saw him throw on the wheel with significant Ulnar deviation to his hands from all his years of throwing. He made quite an impression on us as young teenagers! Friendly and Knowledgeable--that is how we remember him. This Creamer and Sugar is from that trip and purchased at his shop.
Both pieces Signed: Ben Owen Master Potter
Both Measure approx.: 3 1/2\" high.
In good condition showing minor age related wear as expected. Being that the clay body is soft red clay with quite a bit of grog from North Carolina, we see some tiny glaze pops on the rim where the grog in the clay has escaped. No other chips, cracks or repairs.
These pieces have been in storage for the past 15 years and if they tickle your fancy, please be sure to see our other Ben Owen master potter pieces that we will list as we unpack them.
