Goodwill Find.... Los Angeles Pottery Co. Cookies all over-Cookie jar

     Hello vintage lovers!! I had just been in the goodwill the day before yesterday but decided I wanted to stop by again just to check for anything new and boy was I so glad I did. Most of the time when I do that it usually pays off. I found one of the holy grail vintage items for a lot of people. The Los Angeles Pottery Co. Cookies all over-Cookie jar. I could not believe it! A little back story on the jar.....
     Los Angeles Pottery: Cookies All Over. This jar is a mirror image almost of the really popular NAPCO jar. The only difference between this jar and the Napco Cookies All Over jar is the lid; to avoid copyright infringements, LA Pottery did not put any cookies on the lid of their jar like the Napco jar has. They just have the walnut finial “knob” & the lid is otherwise plain. This cookie jar was released in 1955. 
     This one I found at my goodwill is in very good condition. It does not have any cracks or chips and the paint is vibrant, it does have hair line crazing but what can you expect from something that is 64 years old?? I can not believe it is in as good of shape as it is. I found this gem for 4.99!! A little lady I see in there a lot said, "oh that is pretty I seen it but they want 4.99, that is too much" LOL she must now know that these sell for close to $100 online. I got very lucky and can not wait to find a place to put this beauty in my kitchen.
