The ABC's Of Cookie Jar Collecting
B is for Brush
  • It was 1925 when Brush Pottery went on its own and separated from the Brush-McCoy Pottery.
  • There is NO such thing as an authentic Brush-McCoy Cookie Jar. McCoy made cookie jars and Brush made cookie jars, but it was after the two companies went their own ways.
  • The first Brush cookie jar, made in 1929, is pictured in The Complete Cookie Jar Book by Mike Schneider.
  • Ross and Don Winton designed many Brush cookie jars, their jars have a W in the markings.
  • Brush jars have been widely reproduced and it can be hard to tell reproductions from the originals.
  • Original molds were sold and used later for reproductions.
  • Brush Pottery closed its doors in 1982.
