“COOKY” BLACK CHEF by PEARL CHINA

“COOKY” Black Chef Cookie Jar by Pearl China company, c 1940s. Excellent original condition, trimmed in 22K gold! Underside signed as  “Pearl China, Hand Decorated 22kt Gold” with the number “639” impressed in the bottom as well.  No chips, cracks or hairlines. There are 3 or 4 paint flakes missing as seen in the photos; 2 or 3 on the face & one on the left foot. These are not chips just tiny spots of missing paint. The gold paint is somewhat faded but not unusual for this jar or a jar of this age. The jar is in otherwise impeccable condition ready for display! Portions of this are “cold painted” where the paint was not fired under the glaze meaning it can chip or wear off. This was also quite a normal practice then when they were trying to produce inexpensive but attractive jars.
