Candlestick, 1917-1921
01
Artifact Overview
Jugtown Pottery was founded by artists Jacques and Juliana Busbee who attempted to save local craft traditions in North Carolina. The Busbees hired local potters and made the wares available at a shop in Greenwich Village, New York. This rough, salt glaze candlestick is typical of their early pieces, appearing very much like a survivor of the 18th or 19th century.
