Collector Cookie Jars

Maker Unknown, Indian Woman Collector Cookie Jar. No one has ever stepped up to the plate to claim fame for making this interesting and one of a kind jar. In most books that list this particular jar, they have it listed in the Black Americana section. So, I guess there is question as to actual ethnic background it was to represent. From the dress and slightly reddish colored dark skin tones, I would tend to agree that it was intended to be an Indian woman. She doesn’t have any chips or cracks, just a lot of lighter crazing and one dark craze line that is straight and about an inch long. It’s a smooth area to the touch, so, I would not classify it as a crack but just a darkened craze line in the glaze. This happens from dirt, cookie grease, etc, getting into these craze lines. It will not show up in a photo its so fine. There is some minor paint loss on the jar since it is cold-painted. The zig zag line going about the dress near the bottom is nearly 100% intact and there are a couple of missing paints areas on the face and hair as seen in the photos. This is to be expected with a vintage jar of this age and being cold-painted. She’s a very interesting jar and not much is known about her, but she is also a very difficult to find jar esp in this condition with the paint intact. Some books spike in value at between $250 – $400. She’s still an attractive and interesting jar just the same in her right.  Someone thought so or she wouldn’t be listed in the books.  Since this is a cold-painted jar, we highly recommend purchasing one of our hand-made soft cloths listed under the “HANDCRAFTED TEXTILES AND POTTERY LINK NEAR THE TOP OF THE HOME PAGE. They’re only $6.99 and crafted entirely by hand. These are soft cloths that will not scratch the surfaces esp for the cold painted jars. If purchased with a jar, there will be no additional shipping fees. If you are so charged for shipping this will be refunded to you if you have purchased one with one of our jars. There is a photo available of an example of these great cleaning cloths at that link mentioned within the site.

Phillips Snowman Collector Cookie Jar. Maker actually unknown, but I would believe this was a custom made, one of a kind jar made exclusively for a family with the name “Phillips”. Is your family name Phillips? If so, this is a must have …. You can boast to your friends how important you are since your name is on a custom made cookie jar! The images including the snow is done in a sort of raised “relief” style that you can actually feel. No chips, no cracks or other damage. The scene is set with a snowman standing amidst pine trees, sort of like the scene on the animated Rudolf the Rednosed Reindeer kiddy show with Burl Ives while it snows. You can see the snow settling down on the land, the trees and snowman. The edge of the base rim, the lid edge and knob is adorned with a spongeware style mottling. Very heavy, substantial, attractive jar! C’mon Mr. Or Mrs. Phillips, buy this jar for your pride and display!

West Bend Jack & Jill Brown Bean Pot Style Collector Cookie Jar. Signed on the bottom in raised letters, “West Bend” this early jar, probably the late 40s or early 50s, has Jack & Jill on the front. No chips or cracks, just a couple of glaze pops along the rim edge of the base. Exc condition overall with some minor paint loss on Jack & Jill. These are cold painted on. The pot itself has a nice look of a mahogany veneer.  Great simple look for a more country style or old fashioned atmosphere.

Cookies All Over Cylinder Collector Cookie Jar with pretzel finial on lid. Well, pretzels are easier to eat than walnuts. Unknown maker…..the debate over this jar has gone on for a long time as to who made it. Its signed simply, “USA”, which leads many to believe it could have been made by Shawnee, perhaps McCoy or even American Bisque. Whoever made it did a fantastic job to in their own way copy the Los Angeles Pottery cookies all over jar and the Napco jar. Buy all three of these nice jars, Napco, LA Pottery and this one marked USA and set them together. Would offer a great look and you’ll have all 3 of some of the fastest growing in popularity & priced jars today! Great jar for any beginner or advanced collector.
