Looking at this, I,d say this is a Bisque Pottery cookie jar,...it could be a McCoy...and its styled on a Gingerbread boy/girl...

having done a bit more research...i,m leaning towards this

Identifying Vintage American Bisque Cookie Jars

Identifying American Bisque cookie jars can often be frustrating. In most cases they did not mark their jars with anything other than a simple "USA", or occasionally a number. Others were marked with the abbreviation "A.B. Co.". Some jars left the plant with paper labels that have long since disappeared. However you can usually identify American Bisque cookie jars by their unique large wedge shapes on the bottoms.

That looks like a Twin Winton color ..... but I couldn't find it in my 2 books of "cookie jars".  Anyway, I lightened up your picture so everyone can see her face.

This just doesn't look old to me!

Like Mark asked...can you please tell us what is on the bottom/markings?
I'm from the South - but please don't mistake my Southern Manners/Accent/Charm as a weakness!

Thank you cogar for your help, I appreciate any help. I'm
Not sure the age, you may be right, that it isn't old? I posted a picture of the bottom. I'm
Not sure what the marking reads or if it is a marking or just a mark from being fired?

I see it...but it isn't a good picture from my screen.  Sometimes closeups aren't the best to show!

Thank you bigwull for your input. I wonder if you could be correct, american bisque. I knew this would be tricky and difficult to identify. My aunt used to dabble in pottery, just painting and things like that. I will ask her to remind me what she told me about it (painting tech and how it was fired) In determining the age I can try to give some more picture clues. An american bisque would certainly be a well received identifier ;) I enjoy treasures

Mart, this reminds me of that same time period when "Oriental" and "Asian" was the craze as well (1940's to 1960's).  Bobbed hair was originally popular in the 1920's and became popular as the Oriental Bob in the 40's and again in the 60's.  Some examples from that time period...

I think Los Angeles pottery may be a winner
