1.5" tall Stoneware Face Jug brooch by Anna King of King's Pottery in Seagrove, NC in 1998. Made with wood fire and a salt glaze, featuring bone white teeth and eyes. About the artist: Terry and Anna King, owners of King’s Pottery, are lifelong residents of Seagrove who apprenticed with longtime Seagrove potters Walter and Dot Auman. The Kings began working for the Aumans in 1985. There they learned all the traditional tasks involved with running a pottery: mixing clay and glazes, turning pots, glazing, and loading and firing a wood-fired kiln. Anna has also worked with Charlie Owen, Ben Owen Sr.’s brother. The Kings opened their own pottery in 1987. The Kings are active and involved in North Carolina’s folk art community. BP
