McCOY POTTERY -- "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). JAR IS MARKED: MCCOY, USA. HAS EXCEPTIONAL COLOR AND MOLD DETAIL. ALTHOUGH BEAUTIFUL AND HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE, JAR 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 AN EXCELLENT ADDITION TO ANY MCCOY COLLECTION.
