Searching for collectable cookie jars? Like me, I bet you can remember sneaking cookies out of your Grandma's cookie jar. That unassuming container became forever etched in your memory.
Yes, cookie jars are the creators and preservers of fond memories of simpler times gone by. They give any kitchen an old-fashioned look of warmth and family. And no kitchen is complete without one or two on display.
Today's cookie jars evolved from the old English biscuit jars or biscuit barrels that began to appear in the late 1700s and became popular in the Victorian Era. These early cylindrical or bowl-shaped containers were made of earthenware, porcelain, or glass. Some were anything but plain in appearance, featuring colorful hand-painted designs, and sometimes silver plate engraved lids.
However, it wasn't until the late 1930s that today's style of decorative ceramic cookie jars in their variety of novel shapes and sizes began to arrive on the scene. And the rest, as they say, is history. Now, we have hundreds of cookie jar collectables, all different. Many are still obtained to store homemade cookies, but many more like the examples shown below are purchased as prized collectables.
There is no right or wrong reason to buy a cookie jar. Buy one simply because you love its appearance or because it evokes fond and pleasant memories, and you can't go wrong. By searching on Google, you can find a wide assortment of cookie jar collectables affordably priced at online stores.
