Vintage brown ceramic shoe shaped cookie jar, depicting the fairy tale story of the "Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe". Children are peeking out of the upstairs windows. Shoe (or Boot) has wheels painted upon it to signify that it is a Home on Wheels like a Camper or a Trailer! So cute!!Marked on the bottom "Made in Japan".Measures approximately 12" Tall from the bottom to the top of the lid x 8 1/2" Long from front to back x 6 1/2" Wide from side to side. Over all, Very ...Good, Gently Used, Vintage condition with no chips or cracks, other that I see a rough spot near the top. See close up where I'm pointing to it in photo number 10. Red paint on shoe strings was Cold Painted on, so it has missing paint. See photo number 12 to see what I'm talking about. Paint could be completely removed without much problem, if you want, and/or could be repainted. I will leave this to the new owner's discretion and am selling it as I found it at the Estate Sale. Otherwise, normal wear consistent with age and use. Made in Japan. Mid Century era. See photos from all sides for more details, including one of me holding the cookie jar in order to give you a better idea of the size. View my store for More Amazing Finds!
