Unusual frog cookie jar made of native clay from Alaska. The brown & white varigated swirls remind you of some of our great southwestern pottery here in the US. The cookie jar is glazed. Measures 8 1/2" tall and is in perfect condition. Stamped on the bottom with a name (which I can't make out), and Mud Shack, Wasilla, Alaska. What a great collectible, for the cookie jar collector or for the frog lover.
