Small Jug, Roehlin & Schutz advertising jug

Question:
I would appreciate info on this stoneware jug. Is it Redwing? Or who did make it? It is in excellent condition. What is the Value? Is it rare? Company history? Such as when did the Roehling Schutz company open? close? The only info I could find is "Roehling & Schutz Inc. (1913-1915), The Roehling Co. (1916-1918)." Of course, that is not true because the jug clearly says "established 1853". Thank you for your help
