Today Jugtown follows the same approach to pottery as laid out by the Busbees--form first, a simple continuous line, a complimentary glaze, and occasional decoration. The Jugtown Pottery Museum honors the Jugtown tradition, celebrates the lives and work of the original Jugtown potters, and exhibits and interprets a large collection of original pieces of pottery and other historic artifacts.
