Description

This figural ceramic cookie jar depicts a woman wearing a white dress and red headscarf, with the word “Cookies” molded prominently at the base. The jar is rendered in a full-figure form and was designed for countertop storage, combining decorative appeal with household utility. The style and presentation reflect mid-20th-century American kitchenware design.
The cookie jar was produced by the McCoy Pottery Company during the 1940s and is made of glazed ceramic. Pieces of this type are widely recognized within the category of mid-century figural pottery and are also discussed within the broader context of Black Americana collectibles. Authentic examples are typically marked on the underside, though markings should be confirmed by inspection.
The jar measures approximately 11 inches tall by 8 inches wide. The surface shows wear consistent with age and use, including possible glaze crazing, minor surface marks, or paint wear. The piece presents as a representative example of early McCoy figural pottery intended for display and collection.
