Barnum's Animals Cookie Jar from Sur la Table. Phineas T. Barnum traveled America in the nineteenth century, enchanting crowds with his displays of exotic animals. The ceramic lid of the heavyweight glass jar reproduces the antique artwork promoting Barnum's Animals. Measuring 8" x 8", this 10-cup jar is great for cookies, kitchen staples and other small items. The jar is dishwasher safe. The jar was purchased by a PS 163 parent in August 2000 and has never been used. It has been stored in the original packing since it arrived.
