It was made by the Louisville Pottery Company, the predecessor of Louisville Stoneware. A guy by the name of S.O. Snyder bought an existing pottery works, the John Bauer Pottery Co., from Mr. Bauer in 1905 and renamed the business Louisville Pottery Company. Mr. Bauer had been making pickle crocks and butter churns given that 1889 and the relabelled business remained to produce these and additional utilitarian stoneware pieces as part of its Cherokee line of products whose logo design was an Indian brave surrounded by a double blue circle with stars inside. The jug might have been produced as early as 1905, making it a real antique. The Cherokee line was produced until at least 1930. The Louisville Pottery Company was offered to John M. Robertson in 1970, becoming the Louisville Stoneware Co., and resold in 1970 to Christina Lee Brown, who ran it until her retirement in 2007 when it was sold to Two Stone, Inc., a Louisville investor group. Louisville Stoneware is still in company today.

Cherokee 5-gallon jugs seem costing between $125 and $175, with smaller sized ones somewhat more.
