It is an American Bisque cookie jar called "THE COW JUMPED OVER THE MOON" from the 1940's. It's the most sought after of their popular "Flasher" jars. Flasher cookie jars have faces on them whereby the eyes and sometimes the mouth moves. In Warmans Cookie Jar book they have it listed at 2,000.00. Listed in the Cookie Jar Book by Mark and Ellen Supnick at $1500.00.
The other American Bisque Flasher Cookie Jars are:
1) A Clown with either a blue or black curtain. Its eerie but then I find clowns spooky.
2) A Bear with a honey pot. Very cute as the bears eyes open and close.
3) A couple of kids watching a TV. Seen one with a Sandman or a Dog on the T.V.
4) A tortoise (on the lid) and a Hare whose eyes move
AND
5) The one that I like - 2 Cheerleaders (see pic below)
And now for the GOOD NEWs, I got it for $15.00.
