Antique Ransburg Red Asters Hand Painted Stoneware Lidded Cookie Jar Crock

Joyfully colorful antique stoneware cookie jar by Ransburg of Indianapolis, USA.
Depression-era hand-painted floral aster blossom pattern over an originally red (now appears orange-red) background, solid stoneware ear-handled crock with lid, marketed as the signature Ransburg cookie jar.
Marked RANSBURG/Genuine/Hand Painted/Indianapolis/USA inside the paint palette design.
Approx 9.5” tall (with lid), 7” wide at handle height
Weighs approx 5.12 lbs
This item is in excellent structural condition; no cracks or chips, very clean.
There is paint loss typical of its age.
In my view, the evidence of aging contributes to its appeal. The hand-painted flowers shine brightly still, showing the texture of each brushstroke made nearly 100 years ago. Gorgeous.
