I contacted Villeroy-Boch company and they sent my photos to their museum in Germany for identification regarding this pitcher. The following is the e-mail they sent me:
Regarding the blue pitcher we received the following identification from our museum in Germany:
“This pitcher with pattern number “6702” belonged to the production program of our former Dresden factory during... the whole 1920ies. As the products have not been dated individually I cannot indicate an exact year of manufacturing. The material is earthenware and the pattern realized with stencils and a blue coloured glaze. They do not match a dinnerware, it was offered as a kitchen accessory.”
END OF EMAIL
“An antique is defined as an object of more than 100 years old valued for its aesthetic or historical significance.”

has "crackling/crazing" in glaze inside and out and discoloration on the inside from use. please look carefully at pictures. I couldn't avoid the flash glare but was able to capture the beautiful blue color and the "crazing" in the glaze.
