Vintage American Bisque Pottery Baby Elephant Cookie Jar Item Description: Up for auction is a beautiful vintage American Bisque cookie jar manufactured during the 1950s. American Bisque was established in Williamtown, WV and is most noted for their figural cookie jars. This cookie jar is in the Baby Elephant form and can be referenced in Warman's Cookie Jars book pg. 26. The cookie jar is hand-painted with nice vivad colors and it has a glossy brush glaze overtop. The cookie jar includes its original lid and has the wedge bottom that collectors like to see because it is an original. The cookie jar stands almost 12" tall and is not marked anyw that I see. Item Condition: The overall condition of the piece is very good. It is very clean and t are no chips, cracks, or broken areas. I see two areas that look like either glaze pops or very tiny flakes. One is on the bottom edge of the bib and the other is on the bottom left tip of the bowtie on the back. I am leaning more towards glaze pops on these and they are not very big or noticeable unless your examine it up close. You will also see some minor imperfection around the rim on the underside of the lid. The rim is not smooth as is should be and looks like it has cracks, but this was done in the making because you can see w the glaze was applied over top of this. The color and glaze of the piece are excellent. Please be sure to check out my other auctions for more great items! Thank you for your interest in our auctions!
