In the heart of a bustling farmhouse kitchen from decades past, where the aroma of fresh-baked cookies filled the air, this magnificent majolica-style rooster cookie jar once stood guard over sweet treasures, his proud silhouette a joyful sentinel of comfort and tradition. Crafted by Jay Import and made in China, this impressive piece measures a full 10 inches tall, its plump form bursting with hand-painted feathers in vivid emerald greens, sapphire blues, golden yellows, rich browns, and creamy whites—each plume meticulously detailed with glossy glaze that catches light like morning dew on a country fence. His bold ruby-red comb and wattle crown a cheeky expression, complete with a bright yellow beak and glossy black eyes that seem to wink at every passerby.
Lift the lid (his upper body) to reveal a generous interior perfect for stashing treats, and feel the weight and quality of true vintage ceramic artistry from the late 1990s to early 2000s. A touch of gentle crazing only adds to his well-loved charm, telling stories of countless family gatherings and midnight snack raids. Whether reigning over your countertop, adding bold personality to open shelving, or serving as the ultimate gift for chicken enthusiasts, this rooster brings instant warmth, whimsy, and that irresistible farmhouse magic to any home.
