Cookie jar – emailed for photo
Question:
I have a cookie jar that may be from the early 30′s as I believe it was cold painted. The word cookie was designed into the jar and it used to be colored but the paint has faded to the point of being non-existent. the lid was broken and is now missing a piece of the clay. The outer measurements are approximately 8 1/4" by 8 1/4". Is there a way to have the lid repaired or replaced? What is the value of this piece? Debra
