Museum of Appalachia

John Rice Irwin with the Big Brown Jug

I wasn't sure if this ceramic pot was intended to be a joke or not, but I still thought it was fascinating. It is an impressive size, especially for a jug.  Most of the ceramics at the museum were pots and jugs but there were a few figurines. I found an example of a camp jug that made fun of hillbillies.

Most of the ceramic and glass work was hand crafted but none of them said who made them.
