The Pixie Line of ceramic kitchen accessories produced by Holt Howard in the fifties
is getting harder and harder to find as its popularity soars among collectors.
But the one thing that's been missing from the line is a Cookie Jar! Can you believe it? They
never made a jar to match the other accessories!
Grant-Howard Associates decided to remedy that long-ago omission by creating a Pixie Jar
similar to, and matching, the vintage Pixies. John Howard, one of the original partners in Holt
Howard, wanted to give new collectors a chance to own a piece of Pixieware, but did not want
to confuse collectors by re-doing an old piece. Hence, the Cookie Jar which was never a part of the original
line.
The current design was created by Curt Blanchard, an artist and designer who has been involved
with cookie jars
and ceramics for many years. Blanchard worked for Holt Howard in the sixties and later was
involved with Treasure Craft in the nineties. Blanchard is responsible for many of the jars that
line our cookie jar shelves and currently has designed the other jars in the current Grant-Howard line.
