Snoopy Cookie Jar Appraisal

Snoopy and Woodstock Christmas-themed Ceramic Cookie Jar

This item is a ceramic cookie jar featuring the beloved PEANUTS characters Snoopy and Woodstock, designed with a Christmas holiday theme. The cookie jar is constructed in multiple pieces, with the main body appearing to be a large, roughly rectangular or square container. The lid, which lifts off, depicts Snoopy dressed in a Santa hat (partially visible) or perhaps a winter hat, with Woodstock perched on his head or shoulder, forming the top of the cookie jar. Snoopy's classic black nose and ear details are discernible, as is Woodstock's yellow body and small features. The overall color scheme is off-white or cream for the main ceramic body, decorated with festive elements. A prominent feature is a string of Christmas lights, modeled in relief, draped across the front. These lights are painted in traditional holiday colors: red and green, with a gold or yellow connecting wire. The 'lights' themselves appear to be bulbous and textured, mimicking actual Christmas lights. The cookie jar is currently encased in what appears to be its original clear plastic packaging, indicating it is new or in pristine, unopened condition. The ceramic material suggests a sturdy, yet potentially fragile, construction. Based on the character depiction and holiday theme, it likely dates from the late 20th century to the present, a common period for licensed character merchandise. The craftsmanship appears to be commercial grade, typical of novelty kitchenware. No visible damage or wear is apparent due to the protective packaging.
