Recently attended an auction and purchased two large bowls cream with two brown bands around the base of the bowls - one wide the other nearer the bottom was narrow. The bottom was unglazed and had McCoy cut into the bottom. I now think I paid too much and that they are probably repos. If anyone can advise me I would be appreciative. Thanks C. Roden

My first piece of McCoy was The "cookie house" cookie jar. It was my grandmothers. My mom gave it to me when I was 18. My father recognized it as McCoy (he was an anitque dealer the last 15 years of his life after his retirement from Crown Zellerbach). he started my collection then I have about 150 pieces give or take a few.

My mother is 94 years old and yesterday, my daughter and I were visiting and were looking through all of my mother's old "dishes". In the bottom of a cabinet was a planter that I bought my mother for mother's day in either 1957 or 1958 when my daughter was a baby. I was the only person that ever really liked the planter. I told my mother I would really enjoy having it back to give to my daughter some day. I looked on the bottom and to my joy it is a McCoy planter. It has three quail on the front and is in mint condition. I was thrilled. Do you know the value of this item?

I have a McCoy planter that has the McCoy name on the bottom that appears to have been glazed over. Either someone wanted to hide the fact that this piece is a repo, or for another reaseon unknown. My question is how do I get this glaze off the bottom without distroying the piece. This is a gift for my wife who collects McCoy and I would hate for it to be a repo, but until I can see the bottom I can't say for sure that it is or not. Can anyone help me?

***LOOKING FOR VITROMASTERS "GALAXY" PATTERN*** I recently lost a good portion of my home to an electrical fire. Sad, to say that along with some very special and personal items I lost all of my fine china, stonewear, and stemwear. Among the items lost was my set of Vitromaster "Galaxy"-1993 stonewear. If anyone knows how I might be able to acquire a new set, or even pieces of this pattern please let me know by emailing me at the above email address. My children loved that pattern and it holds some fond memories for them as well as myself. I also just began to collect Mc Coy planters and lost the three I had as well. I am wondering if anyone knows of any snail-mail or on-line publications that list a full catalog? Thank you.

I am not one of the pottery McCoy's. I first knew of McCoy Pottery when I found a small rectangular box in the pinecone pattern in my mother-in-law's belongings. I started looking around and collecting whatever I saw. I have evolved to an interest in mostly pre WWII pieces and do no buy often. Among my favorite treasures are a Libery Bell Umbrella Stand,a long neck Jewell vase,a 6" Zuniart vase,a little jug vase,a Nurock Peacock pitcher and a variety of other interesting and not so interesting pieces. My Grandson, 2 yrs old, broke both of my Man's best friend dog bowls when his family baby sat my puppy at Christmas. I am crushed, but I do love him more than the bowls. I may be able to replace them one day but he is irreplaceable. One of my favorite places to find McCoy was on the old Pacific Coast Highway between Portland & Salem, OR. Aurora, OR is a jewel of a town for it's many delightful antique shops and there are a number of other really fascinating ones going south towards Salem. I haven't bought much lately but love pitchers, the little stretch animals, kitchen bowls,etc - would love to find some children's dishes or an old oil jar or stoneware crock or jug. I'm just having fun with my new computer exploring all of these web pages for McCoy. My daughter wants me to pack up and go to the Collectors gathering in Ohio this weekend. I look forward to having fun with all this education on McCoy available.

I am originally from Zanesville which is close to Roseville where McCoy's originates from. My grandpa worked for McCoys and helped design some of the pottery and I am looking to find out which ones he might have helped design. I know he worked in the 40's til he passed away in 69. If there is any information about who might have designed what I would greatly appreciate where I could find it. I have quite a few pieces which have the mark he created but would love to know if I own a piece he actually designed. Thanks for any help.

It's a blue-green color, has handles on sides, has a round bottom and then going up gets smaller around and then gets bigger, it also has a marking on it kind of like a plant. I was wondering if it might be worth anything. If anyone knows about this vase I would apreciat hearing from you. Thankyou, Elizabeth Rich

I love the site, it is very informative. There were several items that I had not seen. My love for McCoy began when I was just a child. I would look at the wishing well that my mother had for hours, not realizing at that age, it was the beginning of my McCoy addiction. About four years ago we were finishing construction on our log home and my father and I would go to auctions looking for antiques. At one such auction I bought a box of old flower pots, some of them chipped for $3.00. Was I amazed when I received my box and there was a beautiful pale green vase in the box with no chips or marks. I was delighted because I knew I had seen this vase before. It had been in the McCoy book I had recently bought. This started me on my own collection, which I love.

My first McCoy was a vase that once belonged to my Grandmother. Only started collecting others the past 6 years. Have 8 McCoy vases, one cookie jar & three planters. Why doesn't the McCoy index include information on vases?

I have a small collection of 4 Yellow Blossomtime vases. There are 3 different styles to my collection and I have had them for quite some time now. I would like to know their history so that when I pass them on to my children, the correct information passes with them. Also, I would like to know how many different styles of this design were manufactured?

I recently purchased a small McCoy planter or bulb dish that has light brown pine cone legs. The body of the planter has brown-to-green-blue branches. Can anyone tell me the name of the pattern and are there other types of pottery with this style? Anyone know of the value of a piece like this in excellant condition? I like it very much and am on the look out for more. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

My mother & mother-in-law have gotten me interested in McCoy pottery. The problem is that I am so young that I do not know which pieces are original and worth anything from the fakes. I went to a flea market this weekend and they had a piece of pottery with the McCoy tradmark on the bottom, but it was a 1 piece. I mean the pitcher and the bowl were stuck together. I have never seen this before. I am looking for books on this matter and my public library does not have anything that I may read on this subject. I have an antique dealer here in town but, she will sell me book for $40.00. NO DEAL. I would like to know more on McCoy, especially the pitcher and bowl sets. Can anyone help me??? Thank you for your time. Sincerely, A youngster with a new hobby!!

Hello. I became interested in pottery collecting about 6 months ago. Started with Roseville - gathered a few pieces, mostly on eBay. Have become a bit frustrated with the high level of both prices and knock-offs in the Roseville arena. I already had some early '50s McCoy flowerpots at home, and so now have started to check-out McCoy pottery. My interest in McCoy currently lies mostly with the 1930's "matte" pieces and with the '51 "arcature" pieces. I'd like to know about these lines as well as about the "onyx" line of Brush. Thanks.

I was born in NY; have a domicile in NC; and currently here at Fort Polk, near Leesville where the center of the universe is Walmart...... I currently am establishing a pet memorial business thru mail and on the Internet, with the itenion of establishing a storefront in about a year.......stay tuned. Collect any cookie jar you want; as long as you like it.....an one more adage, you get what you pay for......shop around, yo will notice a change in prices from one shyster to the next.....not everyones a shyster, but be careful on what yo buy and especially if its high dollar....you got time.....research in you off time, get informed....stay informed so you know what the treds are and what yo are looking at: an unmarked collectible; or cheap imitation....itsall up to you.....hope to hear from you soon.

Can anyone please tell me more about my cookie jar? I can't seem to find much information on it. It's called "Astronaut", and it was made by McCoy in 1963. It is round like the moon with three astronauts on it. The lid has one astronaut sitting on top while the other two astronauts are placed in the front of the jar. The only marking is USA on the bottom. The color is blue/green. I'm not a collector, the jar was given to me by my mother who got it at a garage sale in 1968. I would appreciate any additional information. Thanks!

It has lately become more and more difficult to find the type of McCoy Pieces which I seek. I live in an apartment building which was built in the 1920's.

I thought that I had a large collection of McCoy (250) until I read some fo these emails I have veen collecting for about 13 years but just in the last 3 have I really been getting into it. Even my husband is going wild now when we stop somewhere. My collection is just of pitchers/basins. When I see one I just go CRAZY. The best way to know the value of a piece is to get a book on McCoy. (Barnes and Noble)I have paid any where from $2.00 to $60.00 and some are worth $75.00. I guess my favorites are a matching pair of McCoy pitcher/basin lamps that I bought in 2 different places nearly 45 miles apart.

I really enjoy collecting McCoy pottery. I started collecting in July of 99 after visiting my sister, who has a small collection of various McCoy pieces. I fell in love with 1 piece in particular; the bird-bath. I came home and went crazy looking for McCoy at all of the local junk shops. My husband has also started to become involved in collecting with me. To my surprize I had gotten one of the birds perched on a flower pieces when my grandmother died. My husband then found another of the same piece at a local flea market for the huge price of $3.00. Now, where ever we go, we turn every piece of pottery over to see if it's truly the real "McCoy".

It seems that just when you think that you have it all, you find another piece or number which we do not have. Currently, we are looking for a pair of candle holders that would hold 12" candle sticks. They look like little bud vases and stand 4" - 6" high. Any help finding this piece would be of great help.
