Manufacturer: McCoy Pottery
Vintage McCoy Pottery piece which came out of a home. This is a flower pot or vertical plant pot or planter. We would could this a Swirl pattern from the prominent swirled in mold ridges on the exterior of the pot and attached underplate. Fully marked on underside base with "McCoy USA". From some research, McCoy Pottery initiated use of this mark in 1939 so this piece is no older than that. We could not identify this pattern in our books and would guess it dates from the 1940s to 1960s and is a Mid Century Modern piece, although we don't know that for certain.
Traditional flower pot shape, about 5 1/16 inches tall, 5 1/2 inches top outer diameter, about 5 inches diameter to attached under piece, and 4 1/4 inches diameter to underside base. Lovely cream or off-white or ivory color, with a smooth rim at the top of the flower pot and base portions. Base flares outwards slightly, as does flowerpot. Pot is firmly attached to base with one visible large water hole near bottom for water drainage. Interior is smooth. As with many McCoy pieces, this ceramic piece is heavy for its size, weighing about 32 ounces or 2 pounds unpacked.
We have provided 6 images showing from varied angles. Please note that the camera light causes white "hot spots" on the matte glazed, smooth surfaces. Please use the zoom feature to examine closely.
Very displayable and usable, with no large chips, cracks, crazing, pieces missing, but does show manufacturing and use/wear flaws. The interior shows the most wear with light and dark use spotting, light discoloration, many gray tool lines likely from trowels or planting utensils, rubbed spots, etc. On the interior base opposite to the water hole there is a manufacturing flaw of some raised pottery that looks incomplete around it. This looks to us like an incompletely made second water hole, so perhaps this was intended to have two water holes but was manufactured with only one completely open (this would not affect use of this flower pot as the other hole is large and completely open as it should be). The exterior as made shows lots of pin/pit/dots in the pottery swirls around the pot but with a larger group on one side, and some bits of raised extra pottery in spots. There is also age/use wear on the exterior with gray tool lines (much less than on the interior), some gray line wear on the swirls (perhaps from rubbing against something else/storage), other general light wear, but not bad. On the underside base rim you can see 2 sides of a small triangular hairline crack (this does not appear to go through the pottery and does not appear to be a use problem), brown dots/spotting, other expected bottom rim wear.
A lovely overall look which would be eye-catching on display or in use, and would add to any collection of this terrific McCoy pottery.
