Example of Marie Rogers Pottery: Face Jug

Marie Rogers became a potter by marriage. She was born in 1922 north of Jugtown, GA to a farmer and married into a four- generation family of potters. She learned the trade and became best known for her face jugs that were made of clay. Rogers produced her wares in the traditional Jugtown pottery tradition. She often shared that making jugs was a hobby and that she liked to turn. Her husband and his family peddled their wares by wagon to towns around the state. Her pieces are sought-after by many collectors of Folk-Art pottery and are found in several well-known collections. She died in 2010 in Meansville, Georgia.
