Pottery Identification Wiki

Almost all of these artists could also be included on the list of Individual Potters but I won't be duplicating all of their names on both pages. I'll try to make this page as complete as I can without including every high school student in North Carolina (they sometimes teach their students to make face jugs in art class).

One of the members the Face Jug Collectors group on Facebook compiled a list of living face jug artists in early 2021. I will not be separating by that criteria here, rather trying to compile a list of artists whose jugs you might ever see for sale, whether the artist is alive or dead.
