Vintage McCoy Pottery planter or vase. c: 1956. Marked: McCoy USA on bottom. Shown on pg. 226, Vol. 1 by B. Hanson. Brocade line. Nice coloring. It has 2 flaws. One one side there is a tiny fleabite on top rim; on other side there is a chip off corner rim. If just using on a shelf, it is fine on the one side with fleabite, (dot it with matching paint if you need perfection). Or, it could be used as a planter on a windowsill since it has flaws. Or, use it on the back of a commode for potpourri, fancy bath soaps, finger towels, etc. This style vase looks great with polished black river rocks and some faux plants, see photos of some other dish garden style pots. Price is reduced for the flaws. 12/12scs
