A figural ceramic cookie jar produced by McCoy Pottery in the form of a turtle. The piece consists of a deep container base shaped like the tortoise's body and a removable lid representing the top of the shell. The exterior is finished in a high-gloss mottled brown glaze featuring multiple embossed circular floral rosettes. The lid is topped with a figural butterfly finial with hand-painted yellow, red, and green details. The base is impressed with the model number 271, the maker's name MCCOY, an L nested inside a C monogram, and USA.Height: 10.5 inchesThe cookie jar is in good vintage condition with no visible chips, cracks, or repairs to the ceramic body. Significant paint loss and wear are visible on the cold-painted butterfly finial on the lid. The underside of the base shows silver-colored adhesive residue on the feet from previous use of felt or tape pads. Minor inherent glaze pinholes and unevenness in the mottled glaze are present, consistent with the manufacturing process.
