How was the face jug found?
1 Answer
The famous face jug was found when a man in Germantown, Pennsylvania, began to excavate an area to build a school. He discovered the pottery and passed it down to his granddaughter who enlisted the help of the appraisers on the PBS television show “History Detectives” to identify the jug.
