Catalog No. 1736
Pottery or stoneware, threaded relief, 0.5L, pewter lid.
Design attributed to �Kunstgewerblehrer Schmidt�.
This is one some half-dozen designs listed in old Merkelbach catalogs as having been provided by �Kunstgewerbelehrer (Arts & Crafts Teacher) Schmidt�. Although the actual identity of this designer is today uncertain, Dr. Graham Dry, in his 1981 book entitled R. Merkelbach: Grenzhausen und M�nchen suggests that he might have been either: Adolf Schmidt, a drawing teacher at the Trade School in Wiesbaden; or Prof. Philip Schmidt, director of the Arts and Crafts School in Erfurt.
