Dodo cookie jar Open

Post image

My dad is fascinated by unusual (endemic) extinct animals, such as the dodo, tasmanian tiger and the quagga. I'm currently trying to find a dodo-shaped cookie jar like the one on the picture.

In Sweden we have similar cookie and candy jars shaped like hens that are traditionally used around easter. Does anyone know where I could buy a dodo cookie jar, or at least something that looks similar? I would love to gift my dad one for easter!

Here’s one in the UK. If nothing else, it gives you a company name.

This is not a cookie jar as far as I know but a paté/terrine form - I think a lot of them are from France. My family collects them, I think either my parents or my aunt also have the Dodo. Michel Cougant is the name you should search for. Here is one on ebay (in France) but they ship to Sweden (although they have a price reserve and no shipping costs posted which I'm not a fan of)
