Crusty, Drippy "Ugly" Signed Stoneware Pitcher pueblo pottery Though the subject seems perhaps

Though the subject seems perhaps to have been a somewhat reluctant model--eyes apparently closed

This terrific vintage set of round stacking blocks on post would be a great gift for a child

Closed it measures 4 1/2" w x 6 3/4" t x 3/4" deep

Box measures 13 1/2" x 4 1/8" x 1"

as the photos show

Crusty, Drippy "Ugly" Signed Stoneware Pitcher pueblo pottery Though the subject seems perhapsThe 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. I'm not sure if the large "X"s incised into the sides were decorative or signaling rejection of this pitcher as a keeper (!),
