Rachel -- In 1941 Red Wing introduced three figural cookie jars that turned out to be the most popular cookie jars Red Wing ever made. They were Katrina, Friar Tuck, and Pierre, the Chef. The Chef was in the price lists untill 1956. Sales for the Katrina was estamated at 200,000 pieces a year.
I am afraid a hairline and stains in the bottom (that is a problem with these cookie jars)would bring the value a way down but one in mint will sell for about $100 to $125.
