About The Artwork

Handmade Stoneware Pottery Jug - Snake Oil Bottle - Ceramic Folk Art I love the fact that most Snake Oils sold 100 years ago made miraculous claims but were generally ineffective. The ingredients were almost always secret and unidentified, but the salesman would claim his potion would cure all. These stoneware jugs were all hand built from stoneware clay, then glazed with several types of glazes and underglazes. Handmade snakes with realistic scales twist around the neck. I silk screened my own ceramic decals for the front and back of each piece. As with each of my other projects that include clay and decals, each piece had to be fired 3 times - bisque, glaze, and decal. These jugs each come with a custom made wooden shelf, antiqued and weathered, with a wooden sign below extolling the special virtues of Johnston America's World Famous Snake Oil. 8" Wide x 18" Tall x 6" Deep Limited Edition of 20 Signed, Numbered & Dated on bottom Ready To Hang House Paint, Ink, Wood, Stoneware Clay, Glaze, Decals

I am a Folk Artist living in the Berkshire Hills of New England. My work incorporates paint, wood, paper, clay, and metal. I love to create items that I always hoped to find in an old barn or attic. Some of my influences are carnivals, snake oils, antique signs, vintage advertising, mystical symbols, secret societies and rural decay. A tremendous amount of time is put into each piece I create, and many of them are completed with custom frames and ready to hang in your home the day you receive it. Thanks for supporting an American artist, I'm positive you'll LOVE this work in your home!
