This story was meant to be told. Lewis left us a gift,.....and my Pop Pop found it...and I was gifted to tell it. God is good.

I have wanted to know more about my family's history, but only wondered about it, since most of the eldest members have pasted on. April Hynes has reached out to my family and through the discovery of the face jug has provided my family with a history we can see, connect with, and be proud of. Lewis Gardener is my great uncle.

It is a honored prize by ANY collector to own an EDGEFIELD. Today modern potters in the area SC, NC, GA are GREATLY influenced by those men long ago who worked so hard to create working pottery (utilitarian) and art pottery.....for us to treasure today... DAVE the Slave is the pinnacle of slave pottery...he wrote poetry, Bible verses, words of wisdom on his pottery...unheard of; for the time...1. that he could write, 2 he could read....
