Noah's Ark

An amazingly detailed jar produced by Fitz and Floyd. The Noah's Ark jar was one of the more expensive jars produced by the company and is HUGE. Collectors often name this as one of the best jars ever made by Fitz and Floyd.

The box it came in was about the size of steamer trunk!

Sculpted animals peek out from windows, the deck and on the roof. Noah stands at the front.

Although the size is 16.5" tall, this jar seems much larger and needs a special spot to be displayed.

  • Size: 16.5
  • Limited edition: 3000
  • Original Issue Price: $750.

Let's talk about pricing. The prices for this jar is a perfect example of why it's so hard to put a price or value on collectibles.

  1. This jar was offered by Morphy Auctions in February 2010 and sold for $75.
  2. Two Noah's Ark jars sold on eBay in 2007 for $285. and $525.
  3. In 2012 several Noah's Ark jars sold for $750.
So what's your verdict? What value would you put on the jar?
