Gerz Grey Jug w/ Stopper

This a circa 1910s-1930s rare gray Gerz stoneware whisky jug with original stopper (though stopper is missing the cork). Per Sprung's book Decorative Golf Collectibles, these were made by Simon Peter Gerz, with the golf scene in relief and were sale glazed. Fully marked on bottom. 7 Golfers/caddies around the outside. Per Sprung's book, the factory dates back to 1857 and these pieces were made in the "early 1900s" (believed to be 1910s to 1930s). 9" tall.
