Americana/Folk Art style at its best! The skill level on this pitcher is extremely goodGerald 'Jerry' Henn studios were open from the early 1980s until about 2007. He built his business up from a conversion van to a studio, which burned down. He rebuilt and opened a shop out of which to sell his lovely pottery pieces in Ohio. The business was totally family run and he personally made all of his own pieces which bear his mark on them [as this pitcher does]. His company/website is no longer operating.
