Item 8627
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this masterwork 1 gallon Face Jug made and stamped by the "Beaumont Pottery, York, Maine."  
 
It is the work of Jerry Beaumont who signed the bottom with the Cross and the date 1986.  In my humble opinion, Mr. Beaumont has been and continues to be one of the best contemporary potters in America today.  His work from York, Maine was some of his finest.  
 
This beauty features the Double Handles, Pottery Stamp, Bottom Signature, and a Face with Raised Eyebrows, Protruding Eyes, Coldslaw Mustache, Mouth with a Dozen Teeth and Extended Ears.  Cobalt accent around the outer perimeter.  Stands 9 1/4" tall
 
Comes from an extensive Massachusetts collection whose owner had personal ties to both the potter and the artist.  She gave me the privilege of buying this and many other Beaumont items (including the sign from the York, Maine pottery). 
 
Excellent Condition.  A 3/16" flake on the back of the left ear.  Otherwise as made.
