This figural ceramic cookie jar is modeled in the form of a perched owl with a removable lid. The piece is constructed from earthenware finished in a glossy cream-colored glaze with molded relief details defining the feathers, wings, and facial features. The eyes are accented with cold-painted red and black pigment. The interior is fully glazed, and the underside features an unglazed foot rim. No maker marks, signatures, or factory stamps are present on the base or body of the piece, which is unmarked.

Height: 10.5 inches
Base Length: 6.5 inches

The owl is in fair vintage condition exhibiting signs of age and use. Fine crazing is visible throughout the glaze on both the lid and body. The cold-painted eyes show flaking and paint loss, and a large area of yellowish residue or staining is present on the top and back of the head. The unglazed foot rim shows expected shelf wear and darkening, and several small reddish spots of surface staining are visible on the lower body. No visible chips, cracks, or repairs are noted.
