 This is a great classic cookie jar in a great classic pattern. Cameo has been described as a great example of a typical depression glass pattern. The pattern was made in four colors green, topaz (yellow), pink and crystal (clear). But not all of the pieces were made in all colors. The cookie jar it was only ever produced in green. There are a couple of people selling cookie jars in the cameo pattern that are pink/yellow/cobalt. These were miniatures made for children. Sometimes the scale in eBay post isn’t obvious so it’s good to know that these re out there.

One last thing, because of the elements they added to color green depression glass, this cooki jar glows under a black light.
