McCOY POTTERY VINTAGE COOKIE BANK COOKIE JAR
$135.00 McCoy Cookie Bank Cookie Jar
This is McCoy's elusive cookie bank/cookie jar! It is a beautiful jar that was made in 1961. Measures 6 3/4" tall (from bottom to tallest part), 9" long, and 5 1/2" wide (at base).
This is a combination coin bank and cookie jar. The lid has a slot for coins (the rubber stopper is missing, however, I have a number of new stoppers and if one fits, I will include at no charge).
Jar is marked: McCoy, USA. It has exceptional color and mold detail.
Although this is a beautiful and highly collectible jar, it has been used and is not perfect. The bottom has some crazing (mostly on interior bottom and some on exterior bottom) and has a 1/4" chip on a corner shrub (located about 2 1/2" from bottom edge). The lid has sustained a bump on one corner causing it to break -- it has been re-glued and is not noticeable from the top. However, when lid is removed and turned over, the repair is evident. It is a 2 3/4" diagonal -- across back corner of the lid. There are a couple production stress marks on lid dry rim - of no consequence - and 2 non-glazed spots on roof gable, also of no consequence.
Don't let my description deter you; this is a very nice jar. Even with its imperfections, it would be a very nice addition to a McCoy collection.
