JUGTOWN POTTERY
HOLDS UP ANCIENT
CRAFTSMANSHIP

A stones throw from paved
highway and half an hours drive
from the sparkling Mid-South re-
sorts of Southern Pines and Pine
hurst, North Carolina, the slow
revolutions of potter's wheel
turn time back to the craftsman
ship of centuries ago.
The products of this unique out
post of handicrafts are the vases,
bowls, jugs, bean pots and table
ware famous as Jugtown Ware.
You can buy it in London and
Paris, in swank New York and
California shops; you can see it
in private collections and in mu-
seums. BY driving to Jugtown via
N. C. Highway 1O5 you can watch
it being produced by methods
WHICH We're old in Marco Polo's
day, and displayed in buildings
which duplicate those of the
Colonial American frontier.
Jugtown-it isn't town at all
but simply the name given a
small group of buildings and kilns
set in the rolling clay hills of
rural North Carolina-b G n
when Artist Jacques Busbee and
his wife, Juliana, "set sail in a
bright-orange pie plate" to revive
a traditional art which had been
all but lost until 1916.
1t was at Lexington, North
Carolina, in 1915 that Mrs. Bus
bee, herself a talented artist and
art chairman for the State Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs, saw
and purchased the pottery pie
plate at a county fair. The Bus
bees Immediately set out to find
the potter who had created this
simple but striking dish from ma
tive clay. Their search ended in
Moore County when they met
Rufus Owens, descendent of Stat
fordshire potters who had settled
in the region and originally sup
ported themselves by making
jugs for distillers.
From Colonial days until North
Carolina voted for prohibition in
1908, many sections of the state
had their "jugtowns" which pro-
duced containers for spurious bev-
erages and turned out a few dozen
churns, crooks or pitchers to sup
ply local householders. On the big
plantations and in the cities, this
ware went mostly to the kitchens
and slave quarters; the gentry i'm
ported china from England and
France for use on their own
tables. Prohibition forced the jug
makers to discard their trade, and
farming, sawmills and factories
absorbed the talents of men des-
cended from the most skilled pot
ters of England.
Excited about the possibility of
reviving the art of pottery in this
section of North Carolina, the
Busbees closed their New York
studio and moved to the "jug-

ed by a mule walking in slow
circles.
Glazes, from formulas develop
ed by Mr.. Busbee, are responsible
for some of the colors seen in Jug
town Ware-frog skin green,
Chinese white, and black. Other
colors grey, orange and brown
originate in the clay itself. Salt
glazed stoneware of a type pro-
duced only at Jugtown is a spe-
cialty because wood kilns produce
enough heat to fire it properly.
Pottery is displayed in a log
cabin. In the Busbee residence
nearby, the living room and old
fashioned kitchen contain no fur
nishings made after 1800-all of
them from the surrounding area.
Jugtown Ware and a priceless
/ collection of Ming and Soong
ware which inspired many of the
present pottery forms produced at
Jugtown are arranged in hand
hewn cabinets and on antique
tables, along with local pottery
dating back to 1740.
Visitors are welcomed at Jug
town, and the potters' wheel and
kiln are in operation weekdays
and Saturday mornings. The en-
tire plant is closed on Sundays.
Mrs. Busbee greets guests, shows
them around the premises, and re-
lates the history of Jugtown.
Describing the genesis of Jug
town" she points out that the en-

Because Of the areas proximity

that 81 beds per thousand is an

visions for adequate facilities
