Vintage 1930’s Ransburg Hand-Painted Red Cookie Jar with hand painted hollyhocks or delphiniums.  Harper J. Rangsburg Pottery Co. from Indiana. Covered cookie jar, cannister, crock or stoneware jar. 

No hallmarks, but that is not unusual. The Harper J. Ransburg Co. never did its own manufacturing, choosing to purchase unfinished bisque pieces from the Louisville Pottery Company, Uhl Pottery in Huntingburg, Indiana, and Western Stoneware. Cookie jars were popular – they were sold full of cookies.

Condition: Excellent giftable condition. Only mentionable issue: One tiny nick on white inner neck rim as shown in last photo in the 11 o'clock position.  No visible crazing or discoloration. Paint intact, with good color and without scratches or erosion. No chips, flakes, breaks, mends, repairs, cracks, hairlines, blemishes, or mentionable boo-boo's. No signs of previous repair or restoration. 

Dimensions:  9.5” tall x 8” diameter at widest point.  Lid has 4.75” diameter.  Base diameter is 5.75" 

Unpacked weight: 5 lbs. 10 oz. 

Always happy to pass through discounts on combined shipping. I only charge actual postage, and always use recycled packing materials. 

Note some photos appear redundant because I take photos from all possible angles.  On symmetrical items, these photos may appear redundant when there are no distinguishing differences or condition issues between side views.

I gladly accept returns, but please note I do not pay return postage unless there was a significant error in my description.  The item listed is being sold as is, as pictured and as described to the best of my knowledge. All dimensions and weights approximate. If you have a question or an assumption on an item prior to purchase, please ask. I much prefer to take the time on the front end to make sure you will be satisfied with your purchase.

Remember, when buying vintage expect imperfections as these items have a history and have been in the possession of others. I try to list EVERY flaw which would be commented on something in an antique or vintage condition – this does not mean all imperfections resulting from normal wear & use require comment. My goal is to have no rude surprises upon receipt.
