Pass the ketchup, sweetie! This mid-century Norcrest condiment jar features a smiling blonde pixie girl with orange pigtail ribbons. Her head and shoulders form the lid, and her little arms hug the jar, which wears orange daisy-like flowers and "Ketchup" in black script.
Ketchup is one of the three core jars in the original documented Norcrest girl trio, alongside Mustard and Relish. All three share the same body form, with ribbon colors matching the flowers on the dress. She still wears her original Norcrest foil label.
