Stoneware Jug c. 1938

Annie B. Johnston's "Stoneware Jug" (c. 1938) is a stunning example of American pottery. The stoneware jug is decorated with a textured, almost scaly, pattern, showcasing Johnston's masterful skill in creating unique surface designs. The brown and green glaze adds depth and richness to the piece, highlighting the artist's keen eye for color and form. The jug, standing at 11 x 9 inches, serves as a testament to Johnston's dedication to the craft of pottery, a legacy that continued throughout her long and fruitful career (1855-1995).
