Item 12136
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this wonderful 1 Gallon Stoneware Jar whose decoration indicates that it was made by Peter Hermann.  
 
Peter Hermann made pottery on Eager Street in Baltimore, Maryland from 1850-1872 (William Ketchum, American Stoneware, p. 98).  
 
This beauty features a Carefully Tooled Rim designed to allow a wax covered paper or cloth to be tied securely around the top, and a Double Floral on Each Side Executed in Strong Cobalt.  Stands 10" tall.
 
Very Good Condition.  A couple faint surface-only lines at the rim (1/2", 1") and some staining from use.   No inner rim or base chips, hairlines, cracks, or restoration.  A couple flat flakes on top of the rim in the making.
