Dept 56 Cookie Jar

Isn't she cute! Thanks to Amy for spotting her as she knows I love Dept 56!
I always go into Dept 56 at Disney downtown when we go there.
Department 56 Cookie Jar
In 1998 Dept. 56 debuted a short-lived series of Cookie Jars that were remakes of some of the more popular vintage jars. The Brush Humpty Dumpty with Beanie, Formal Pig and a Little Red Riding Hood were a few of the jars that were reproduced in this nostalgic collection of jars. As with many Dept. 56 jars, they were not easily found when new and are now even harder to find. Issue price was under $40, but today the jar can easily command more than double that figure.
This Little Red Riding Hood is one of the prettiest new ones produced and has been very popular with collectors.
The jar is 11" tall,weighs 2 lbs 6 oz and can sell for $75 to $125.

Well done with the cookie jar and thanks for sharing the history of it. I did wonder from your previous post what a Dept 56 cookie jar was.
