I have this Black Chef Cookie Chef cookie jar incised 639 bearing the gold Pearl China Mark. In good faith I priced this as the original authentic Pearl China chef. I had a fairly new cookie jar collector look at it and because the height is slightly off from the measurement in the book they decided it might be a fake. I explained that the height of any pottery item, old or new, is not totally accurate because of the variance in the moisture of the slip when the item is poured. So we looked him up in my books and in on you can clearly see a recessed upside down U shape that defines his legs. In the other book We couldn’t see this depression. The Pearl China Black Cookie Chef is one of the jars on the reproduction list.
So How do I tell the difference? Any cookie jar experts out there?

Hi Froggie,
well I’m not a cookie jar expert, but I think what you said holds true with measurements.
I know it does for alot of depression glassware too.
My gut is that the cookie jar is the real deal.I may have a book that shows the Pearl mark showing. If I can find it, I will bmail you and let you know.
If no one here can give you a definite answer, try over at the bay on the pottery and glassware board.
They most often can say what is real and what is repro.
BTW- very nice item. Now hand over the cookies please. LOL
