🥛 Why This Glass Feels Right
This Curious George jelly jar feels right because it taps into gentle childhood memories. Curious George has always represented curiosity and adventure, and as a result, this design feels lighthearted and welcoming.
It feels playful.
It feels nostalgic.
And finally, it feels like something meant to be remembered.
In addition, many families remember collecting these glasses one by one, which makes this final piece in the series feel especially meaningful.
🍯 Design & Details
I included this piece because it represents a complete moment in collectible history. Welch’s released this Curious George jelly jar glass as part of a six-glass series, with this design marked as #6, the final glass in the set.
The glass features Curious George with the message “THIS WAY TO THE MONKEYS,” showing him heading toward the monkeys. Because of that, the artwork feels story-driven and true to the spirit of the original books.
These glasses were originally sold filled with jelly and designed to be reused, making them both practical and collectible. This design is associated with either an original 1980s release or a later classics-style re-release, both of which are valued by collectors today.
🎁 A Thoughtful Gift Idea
Curious George Jelly Jar Glass makes a thoughtful gift for fans of classic children’s books, vintage advertising collectors, or anyone who enjoys nostalgic kitchen pieces. It works especially well as a display glass or as part of a complete Curious George set.
