Rare soccer ball cookie jar |
I've
always believed that a person can never have too many McCoy
cookie jars...
...
especially when they come in so many different characters,
and colors!

Note
the difference on the lid of these two jars. There is
an inverted V section in
the middle of the lid that lifts off.
It's
very hard to locate this jar/lid.

Quita-tip:
To
check the structural integrity of a large piece of McCoy, I place
it upside down over my hand and with my other hand, I tap it lightly
with two fingers. If there are no cracks in the pottery, it will
ring 'clear' and almost melodic with a continued ringing....
If
there is even a hairline crack, you will get a 'thump'. For a smaller
piece of pottery you can simply hold it in the palm of your hand,
tapping it with a pencil or your finger for the same effect.
I
am proud to show some of my cookie jar shelves:
