Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this wonderful 3 Gallon Stoneware Crock made and stamped by "C. Hermann & Co., Milwaukee." 
 
This is the work of Charles Hermann who founded a pottery in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1856 and ran it until 1882 when his stepson, Louis Pierron, took over (William Ketchum, Jr., American Stoneware, p. 147).  
 
Circa 1860, this beauty features a Rounded Rim, Tooled Shoulder, Applied Handles, Pottery Stamp, Light Gray Glaze, and Bold Brushed Cobalt Floral.  The floral boasts 6 leaves and a blossom with 2 petals.  Did I mention BOLD Cobalt?  Measures 11" tall and 10" wide across the top.  
 
Excellent Condition.  Some light stain runs and some glaze flakes on the bottom of the right side toward the back (closeup).
