Pottery Guild Elsie the Cow Collector Cooke Jar ~Original~
Pottery Guild Elsie The Cow ~Original~ Collector Cookie Jar. She’s in great condition, no chips or cracks, just a couple of minor factory glaze pops. Nice jar! Highly sought after in this condition. One person asked how I knew if this jar is an original. There’s a lot of criteria that you look for when determining if a jar is an original…quality, marks, coloring, size, etc. The original Elsie WAS made by Pottery Guild and they did not mark with the company mark. Most of the reproductions are marked as “McCoy” or some other company name … that is actually no longer belonging to the original company. This jar is the correct height, quality, color. And, after handling cookie jars for over 35 years, its second nature to know which is which and for those out there who have to rely on our honesty, we hope that you will. We’re not an internet auction site where the sellers run free & unchecked.

Borden's Elsie the Cow Pottery Guild Collector Cookie Jar
Pottery Guild: Borden’s THE Elsie the Cow. This is not a reproduction, it’s the real moo cow advertising for Bordens! On the base reverse it says “Use no hooks” & ”Fragile” on the front it says “Elsie” & “Handle with Care”. Shows off very nicely, but she does have some ouchies on the lid, please see the photos. These are either cracks, repairs or both. But in spite of them, they do not seem to compromise the structural integrity of the lid. Since this portion of the lid where the cracks are sit down below the rim of the base, they are not noticed nor is the chip on the rim of the base noticed when the lid is on. There aren’t any other concerns with this jar. Its definitely a nice piece to show off.
