Look into those eyes! This mid-century "Blondie" All Purpose jar features a round-headed blonde cutie with huge blue lashed eyes, rosy cheeks, a tiny smile, and a blue bow in her curls. Her head and pink scalloped collar form the lid. The white two-handled jar wears eight hand-painted pink stripes and two raised blue buttons.
The Blondies are one of the better-known Japanese condiment jar lines of the 1950s and early 1960s, styled after Holt Howard's Pixieware. Collectors recognize them by their round blonde heads, two loop handles, and eight vertical stripes. No maker has ever been positively identified. All Purpose stands out in the line: it carries no condiment name, and it's the only Blondie with blue arms and buttons.
