American Bisque – one of the most popular and collected vintage cookie jar manufacturers (from 1930 through 1973) – made a French Poodle Cookie Jar in Burgandy and also in Blue.  These cookie jars are 10″ tall and are probably the most valuable of the Poodle  Jars.

Vintage McCoy Cookie Jars

Vintage McCoy Cookie Jars are among the most collected Vintage Cookie Jars.  The Nelson McCoy company began making them in the late 1930s,  From the 1930s through the 1980s hundreds of McCoy Cookie jars were produced in a very wide range of styles and designs.

While some McCoy Cookie Jars are rare and very valuable, there is a large variety of them that can be affordably obtained and collected.

What I love about McCoy Cookie Jars is how they managed to capture the era through the years.  When I look at the Snoopy Cookie Jar, I immediately think of and remember the late 1960s and my childhood.  The bright yellow smiley face cookie jar reminds me instantly of the 1970s.  If you are over 40, you will not be able to look at McCoy Cookie Jars without a great deal of nostalgia – which is one of the main reasons they are so popular with collectors today.

Depression Glass Cookie Jars

Depression Glass was inexpensive, mostly machine made, glass in the depression era. It was given away as premiums (in oatmeal, flour, at the gas station, etc.) or sold cheaply at the five and ten cent stores.  In addition to clear, many depression glass items were also made in colors.  Pink and Green are typically the most common colors – although there is a wide range of colors across all of the patterns.

Many Depression Glass patterns included Cookie Jars – many of these vintage Cookie Jars among the hardest to find and therefore most valuable items in a particular pattern or color.

Some Vintage Depression Glass Cookie Jars sell for hundreds – The Green 1931-1937 Mayfair Open Rose Cookie Jar pictured above sold for $565.55 – many are very affordable.
