I currently own around 20 McCoy's and my collection is growing daily. It started with my parents buying a couple at an auction, and since then I have been hooked. Great product and wonderful collection of pieces! Thanks for a wonderful product, Mike

I have a set of four mccoy canisters. They are shaped like old milk cans, with a handle only on the lid. They are brown on the top and off white on the bottom. They each have a different fruit, nut and berry scene on them. They are numbered on the bottom 251-254. They are in very good shape. Anyone with info. or interested please email.

I am very interested in Mcoy Pottery. I've collected very small items that i've ran across visiting fleas. I now am aware of all the great stuff that was made by this co. I am helping my bro. setup a small curio shop in the city of Goldsboro, NC 27530. I hope to run across more McCoy as this year passes. Would like to hear from anybody that can add to the joy of McCoy Pottery collecting or selling.

I recently came across a wonderful vase with "McCoy USA" embossed on the bottom. It's square (7" high, 6" wide and 3" deep) in a butter yellow with a soft green overglaze streaming down along the sides. It's center is actually a window' that goes all the way through, in which is a bird (white body with deep blue on head, wings and tail) perched on a brown branch with dark green leaves). Net research hasn't netted' any info on the piece. Can anyone help with possible production date, value, etc.? Thanks very much!

My mother had great collection of Mc Coy and when she died, my father is very stupid to have yard sale and sold them all at cheap price. I am trying to re-collect all good memories of my mother who had great care of flowers (flower pots/sauce, planters, double cache.)

I discovered a good condition McCoy cookie jar in the garage after my mom's death and would like an idea of the value. It is a black kitten in a pink basket. Actually.....I think it is rather ugly....and think my mom had the right idea by hiding it in the garage! Can anyone give my any idea of the value? I spoke to one dealer casually at a political meeting and he offered me $65....sight unseen. Any suggestions would be appreciate. Thanks.

Hi, (Excuse the typos please, I have a toddler on my lap)I have creamer, sugar and candy bowl/lid (?) set I got as a gift from mother-in-law. The shop owner told her it was the "lost glaze" that was only produced for a short time before a fire destroyed the factory. It seems to have a cream colored base with lavender and gold patterning on top (irridescent?). Reminds me of lusterware a bit. Anyway, does anyone have info on these pieces? Thanx.

I have enjoyed your site very much. I found it very informative. I especially enjoyed the slide show. I also enjoyed reading the comment section. Do you know of any sites with more info. than cookie jars? I have quite a few McCoy pieces but my passion is collecting bicentennial and eagle items. I wonder if anyone reading this knows how many different pieces were made for the McCoy Spirit of 76 collection. Thank you for all your work in giving all of us this enjoyment.

Hello, I discovered i have a piece of your pottery in my home. It is a planter made in a dark brown, with honey highlights, It has a spinning wheel/ with a cat climbing away from a barking German Snauzer dog. The piece has the Mc Coy logo dating at 1935-present. on the bottom. The dog is a blondish red color and the rest is brown with honey highlights. I cannot find a chip or blemish anywhere. It has been in the cabinet for as long as i can remember. The dog is reared on his hind legs Being held tight by a leash. The copper colored string is still in place and held tight. also there is a locked box the dog has his front feet on that has the initials R S with a spittoon on top of the box also. I know nothing of pottery, a friend of mine brought my attention to the piece. I just had it on our kitchen cabnet as a salt & pepper holder. It was my mothers and as far as i know it was passed down from some of my grandmothers somewhere. I'm not interested in putting it on the market but I'd like to know an estimated value so i can place it on the insurance policy if need be. Thank you, Chris cmcfarl@lcc.net

No relation to the McCoy potters (as far as I know) although my grandpa was from Virginia. I have collected McCoy for about 10 years, ever since my grandma McCoy passed on and I received a birds and cherries vase which belonged to her. I always thought that she had made the vase until I discovered another McCoy piece at a rummage sale. Little did I know it would lead to my collection of McCoy. I have a coffee grinder cookie jar which is missing the lid. Anyone know where I might be able to pick the lid up?

After "Martha" had a segment on Mccoy pottery, we locted 3 pieces that my parents had had all my life. Since then we keep an eye out for them in antique, junk shops and garage sales. We become quite excited upon finding new Mccoy treasures. We now have seven Mccoy pieces.

I have a drinking pitcher from my grandmother. It is green in color with two three leaf clovers on it. it says McCoy USA. It is priceless to me since it has wonderful memories. My grandmother did not have much money so I know It was not expensive and it was used as an everyday item. I would just like to know more about it. Can someone help me. I do not have anyother items and did not want to buy a book. Thank you

The mark on the bottom 335 McCoy and also has stamped the words Carved wooden eagle author unknown National Gallery of Art Washington , D C The height is approx 5 in. Any info would be appreciated.
