Sylvester's grinning head becomes the jar and Tweety sits smugly on the lid: the 1993 Looney Tunes cookie jar made by Applause for Warner Bros., kept with its original box.
The Piece
Applause, the Californian maker of licensed figures and giftware, produced a celebrated run of Looney Tunes ceramics for Warner Bros. in the early 1990s, when the Warner Bros. Studio Stores were opening across America. The cookie jars were the most ambitious pieces of the range, and the Sylvester and Tweety model is the one collectors chase.
The jar is sculpted as Sylvester's head in glossy black and white glaze with his great red nose and white muzzle, the opening rimmed in black. The lid forms the top of his head, ears up, with Tweety moulded in bright yellow curled on top, the cat's eternal quarry finally within reach. The underside carries the Applause and Warner Bros. copyright marks for 1993. It comes with the original purple Looney Tunes Cookie Jar box printed with the character line-up and its inner packing.
