I don't know about you, but cookie jars shaped like animals used to freak me out when I was a wee kidlet. It seemed wrong to decapitate a cute critter to get at my sugary baked treats, even if said decapitation were temporary. I much preferred the cookie jars shaped like houses because tearing a roof off of a house to get to a cookie made MUCH more sense to me.
Ahem.
It's my pleasure to introduce this huge vintage 1950s (1958 to be precise) owl cookie jar for your viewing pleasure. We've dubbed him The Academic, but a little research has reveled his name to be Collegiate Owl. Made by the American Bisque Company, he stands a little under a foot tall. That's a lot of cookies. He's sporting a mortarboard, pale blue speccies, and a book with 'cookies' written across it.
Price: $35 (sells elsewhere on-line for between $100 and $165)
