The meaning and use of the slave-made examples are unknown, but the angry faces with their bared kaolin teeth suggest protest against enslavement.”

He made a pair of ‘laser jugs’ based on the old syrup-jug form, with holes for light bulb sockets and an electric cord. The mouths were meant to face each other and produce a steel-piercing beam; but one jug was ruined in the firing. The experiment reminds us that contemporary southern folk potters take part in the modern world.”

In the catalog description from Shaping Traditions: Folk Arts in a Changing South, John Burrison, University of Georgia Press, 2000, pg. 120, cat. no. 185, Burrison writes, “Because of hard usage inherent in churning, surviving ealy pottery churns are uncommon. The deep midsection grooves from this small example, perhaps from Lewis Miles’s Aiken County shop, are unusual. The cream colored area may be due to naturally occurring rutile (titanium dioxide) in the clay where the glaze was thicker and didn’t fully melt.
