Fine Early-Period Alkaline-Glazed Stoneware Face Jug, Signed "Lanier Meaders," Cleveland, GA origin, circa early 1970s, ovoid jug with short spout, decorated with a hand-modeled and applied clay face featuring orb-shaped eyes with black pupils, broad nose with carved nostrils, well-formed ears with depressed centers, and mouth with flattened lips. Surface covered in an olive-colored alkaline glaze. Underside incised with Lanier Meaders signature. Aspects of the modeling on this jug, including the glazed eyes and omission of teeth, indicate it is a relatively early example of Meaders's work.
