A very handsome peice - I had not seen that exagerated basket-weave pattern used on a pitcher before. Belden gives the working dates for the Gale/Willis partnership as 1860-1862 and refers to the psuedohallmark as a patent mark, with an indication that they were was used across several partnerships and may show an earlier design date, but later making.
