Vintage Certified International Tuscan Rooster Cookie Jar

This is a decorative ceramic cookie jar sculpted in the shape of a stylized rooster, likely part of the Tuscan-style kitchenware collections popularized by 'Certified International' or similar manufacturers from the late 1990s to early 2000s. The piece is constructed of high-gloss glazed earthenware with a cream-yellow base color. It features a two-piece design where the rooster's head and neck serve as the lid. The body is intricately decorated with hand-painted floral motifs, including purple flowers on a green wing, red blossoms around the base, and stylized orange feathers. Notable features include the bright red comb and wattle, a curved yellow tail, and a blue trim around the neck. The craftsmanship shows embossed detailing on the wing and tail to provide texture. Condition-wise, the glaze appears intact with a high luster, though there is a visible seam line/crack extending horizontally near the base of the wing area which may indicate a professional repair or a structural stress crack. There is no visible crazing from this angle, but slight wear on the bottom rim is expected for its age. This folk-art inspired piece represents a classic 'Country Kitchen' aesthetic.
