This  whimsical vintage ceramic cookie jar is a rotund hippopotamus named "Calory Hippy". It might serve as a reminder of the consequence of  eating too many cookies, but will keep you chuckling all the while. It was made in the United States, possibly by McCoy, during the 1960s. The jar has a fitted lid and is handcrafted with a matte brown glaze and blue eyes. It is a unique kitchen storage item with a kitchy retro style. This unique cookie jar is in excellent condition, with only a small chip under one of it's big toes, which can only be seen if it is turned over. It measures 12 " tall x 7" wide.
