JOE REINHARDT, MINI BROWN JUG

Description: DescriptionThis is a nice piece of miniature Folk Art Pottery by the famous Catawba Valley potter, Joe Reinhardt! It is SIGNED JOE REIN with the heart symbol, Vale, NC 10-29-97. He also has the heart symbol by the base to the right of the ear shape handle. Joe doesn’t make a lot of minis and this one is terrific. The brown glaze with darker brown accents is beautiful on this little jug. It measures approximately 5 ¼” tall x 3 ¼” wide. This Joe Reinhart mini Folk-Art Pottery Jug is certainly a MUST for a collector! Born in Catawba County and living in Vale, NC since he was two, Joe Reinhardt is another traditional potter whose gift must have been handed down in his genes from several generations of potters. Even though he was never privileged to actually see his great-grandfather, grandfather, uncles, and cousins make pottery, he did live near the God-Father of Catawba Valley potters, Burlon Craig. As a boy, he was allowed to watch Burlon work and, sometimes even put a piece or two on the wheel himself. After 33 years working as a brick mason, Joe was victimized by a major heart attack and was told by doctors to slow down. Equipped with two of Craig’s glazes, advice to start turning, and wishes of luck, Reinhardt went to work. Joe continues the tradition of digging his own clay, and firing in his original groundhog kiln. Sometimes he bisque-fires large or ornamental pieces in an electric kiln.PaymentFor 100% security, I use eBay’s payment method called Managed Payments.
