Crusty, Drippy "Ugly" Signed Stoneware Pitcher modern whimsy I think it would beThe dealer I bought this pitcher from described it on his label as ugly which of course added to my desire to grab it! Though they've never been my thing, and are usually way out of reach, I've been paying some attention to antique folk pottery jugs lately, to which this one, I don't think especially old, seems to pay homage.
