Brownware pitcher - likely 19th C American - identification

Hi All,

Just got this brownware pottery pitcher that's 12 inches tall. Was told it's likely 19th century southern U.S. Any thoughts on maker, especially with that notched outer pattern?

Thanks!

A very long time ago I was researching a sherd that had the picked lines pattern.

If I remember (and I'm not at all sure I do) I think I found similar surface treatment on German pieces.

Hopefully someone will have better information. I don't remember if I saved the research somewhere. It wasn't a piece of mine.

Of course with handmade pottery, anyone anywhere can produce any style.

 

I pulled out my book American Stonewares by Greer and wanted to offer a little bit.

Thank you for looking it up SIS! Hard to tell the glaze and colors from the black & whites, but I do see the picked lines in the latter pitcher. Would you lean toward German origin for mine?

 

I'm afraid I really don't know but you might ask at Crocker Farm.
