Wonderful 80 year old figural cookie jar of a young woman in a "southern belle" style of dress that opens at her waist. This cream ceramic kitchen counter storage and adornment was once detailed with red paint on her dress, hat and face but as many vintage collectors know, this color of paint is the first to ware off and is often missing. This belle is still beautiful, free of chips or cracks, and fully functional as an every day object or to add to a collection. Pan American Art was the maker of cookie jars for 30 years from the 40s to the 70s many molds were shared with McCoy,
