Title: What do you think of this jar?
Post by: awmartin on April 06, 2009, 04:53:06 pm
Hello, everyone I'm back. Yesterday I bought an interesting jar that appears to be handmade. At first I was hesitant to buy it, but eventually I talked myself into it. The only inscription are the initials "KM" on the bottom. I have done some research as to what KM might stand for, and have found Karl Martz, but he was not known for making ceramic pieces like this. Any information that you guys have would be very helpful.

To me it looks like a piece that someone painted at one of those paint your own pottery stores.

Is it a cookie jar?  I'm assuming the top is removable.

It does appear to  be a cookie jar. The top is removable. Here is a picture.

We have quite a nice collection of cookie jars and am not familiar with a KM.  Do believe also that this is possibly one made at a ceramic shop.
