This mid-century glass cookie jar has no makers mark, but, from research, it appears to have been made by Barlett-Collins Glass Co., which operated from 1914 to the early 1980s. The cookie jar’s sides and lid are frosted, and it is decorated with the human and animal prehistoric characters from Johnny Hart’s BC comic strip that was first published in 1958. The jar itself is 7 1/4" tall without the lid on; with the lid it is 8" tall. The diameter of the bottom is 6 3/4" and the mouth is 5 1/4" in diameter. Considering this piece is 50-60 years old, it is in remarkable condition. There are no chips or cracks. There are a few rubs and a tiny bit of loss of frost, and there is a swirl in the frost that can be seen when you hold it in the light at a certain angle. I’ve taken pictures of all of these. But none of these are distracting. The cookie jar is quite substantial, weighing almost 3 lbs.

These would be a fun piece to add to your mid1century kitchen or to add to your cookie jar collection. Please contact us if you have any questions.
