Circa 1870s: Standing 9" tall, this petite half gallon stoneware pitcher with classic double flower decoration was most probably potted by Baltimore, Maryland's Peter Herrmann. Pitchers under a gallon are difficult to find and are highly sought after by collectors from all regions, and this handsome little gem is in excellent nearly as made condition with one one very minor flake on the bottom, possibly a manufacturing kiln pull, and no other chips, cracks, or repairs.
