dSculptor Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 Thought I would share a pic of the jug that I mentioned above, this is a salt glazed jug made by Charles Hermann, who was in business from 1856- 1886 in downtown Milwaukee, Wi. This jug is probably from around the 1880's or so. I started a long time ago collecting stoneware from this period of time.. more specifically from Milwaukee, and have amassed a pretty good sized collection. Back then you just brought your jug to the liquor store (General store) and they filled it for you .. right from the barrel. Here's a pic of a decorated one (same maker) ..this one is a lot earlier, probably more from the late 1850's - 60's. They really liked their jugs back then....I really like them now.
