I have a VERY LARGE C. Hermann & Co, Milwaukee Stoneware Pottery Jug. This jug was left in a house that I bought. The house was built in 1850 and had a large pantry type room in the basement. I'm going to assume that the jug had been there for generations. It is in excellent condition, see photos. There are even some finger prints in the glaze from when it was made! Nice clean mark.The jug is 10 inches tall and 8 inches in diameter.Please ask questions before bidding, as this item is being sold in 'as is' antique condition.
