my family has had this Mrs Claus cookie jar my whole life. but as you can see, she's gone through quite a bit in the last 19 years - from people putting her in the dishwasher, sigh - and I'd like to fix her up this year.







her dress and entire backside used to be red (you can see some chips on her top and at the bottom of her apron) and I think her bow and mittens were black?

my question is, since she's got a glaze finish and all, can I just paint her with regular acrylic craft paint and then seal/varnish her somehow? I'm not going to be painting the inside so I'm not really worried about it being food-safe, but speaking of which, do they make a food-safe varnish anywhere for ceramics and such?

thank you in advance for any help <3
