Our Cookie Jars are a true treat! Each one is carefully handcrafted in our Irish Pottery, ensuring the beautiful finish is matched only by the durable design. This makes them perfect for filling to the brim with tasty treats, or even gifting to a friend to show appreciation.
The Assorted Landscape Pattern is a charming compilation of our popular country designs.
To keep it as beautiful and pristine as possible, we recommend that you follow the following advice:
• Avoid rough handling and sudden changes in temperature as this may cause the appearance of fine lines on the surface known as crazing. Crazing does NOT affect the life or the usefulness of the pottery, and some people feel this adds to the character and appeal of the pottery. It is nothing to worry about.
• Our pottery is dishwasher safe; please stack it carefully to avoid knocking.
• Our pottery is microwave safe but continuous use should be avoided.
• Stubborn stains may be removed by soaking in a mild bleach solution.
• For our ovenware pottery (and also our tabletop ware), avoid metal scourers or harsh abrasives.
• Only use our special Nicholas Mosse Ovenware in your oven, avoid direct heat and do not use on a hob or near a naked flame
All Nicholas Mosse products are well packed in ecologically friendly, recycled packing. Insurance is included in the shipping charge.
Wow! I just received my new cookie jar and it is the cutest thing ever! It came perfectly wrapped and arrived in Canada safely. It’s already filled with cookies and I’m sure it will be a special childhood memory for my kids to use this. Thank you for creating such a beautiful piece to add to our home.
Just beautiful. I'm so happy with all my N.M. pieces. I absolutely love the landscape design. I just wish they would also bring back some of the older patterns again. 🙏
My lovely cookie jar is beautiful - I have been collecting now for 25 years-generally visiting Bennettsbridge from Yorkshire ! As ever I’m delighted with my purchase.
Love my Nicholas Moses Landscape Cookie Jar! It is absolutely beautiful and stunning ❤️ The landscape design goes completely around the cookie jar. The jar itself is substantial and well made. It also came well packaged and in a timely fashion
What a beautiful piece of art. My cookie jar is just what I needed. Have loved Nicholas Mosse pottery for many years. First visited Bennettsbridge in 1995 and was taken by the stuff. Thank you.
This purchase is a shower present for my niece, Kelsey. She getting married in Oct.
I know she will treasure it as she is a huge animal lover.
I have been collecting this pattern for years.
Every piece of Nicholas Mosse undergoes a 20-step, handmade process.
Basic Forming
Clay comes from the ground and we mix different sorts of clays to create our own, high quality earthenware. We dig, blunge, sieve, filter and pug the clay to form extruded logs of wet clay, which are then cut into the exact size and weight for each item. The thrower takes this lump and centers and forms it on an electric potter’s wheel.
Wet Clay or Greenware
The little jug body is dried to a "leather hard" stage, and then a handle is attached to it with a glue-like substance called slip. Small imperfections are fettled and cleared away to make the pot ready for the next stage.
Slip Dipping
When it reaches a very particular level of hardness, the little jug can be lowered into the liquid slip bucket. This type of slip is made from our same clay but with more water and less iron, to make it whiter. The slip is viscous and makes another pot cleaning necessary.
Bisque Kiln Firing
Once again the jug needs to harden even more, so it can withstand being stamped with our Nicholas Mosse logo. It then waits for its turn in the kiln and receives a first firing or ‘bisque’ firing, which removes all water from the clay and makes it hard and ready to decorate.
Decorating
Nicholas Mosse Pottery has a large group of shapes, from mugs to plates to bowls, which are all hand decorated in one of our 10 or so patterns. Each motif is applied by hand, one at a time, in different underglaze colours. The pots are then dipped into clear glaze and fired again.
