THE HORSE PLANTER IS #18 ON THE LIST OF THE TOP 100 MCCOY FINDABLES!  PRODUCED IN THE 1940’S, PLANTER HAS THE OVERLAPPING MN, USA MARK ON BACK (DIFFICULT TO SEE DUE TO GLAZE FILL-IN).

THE INTERIOR CRAZING HAS DARKENED (FROM POTTING SOIL) AND THE EXTERIOR HAS A FEW PLACES THAT HAVE SLIGHTLY DISCOLORED (SEE PHOTOS). THIS DISCOLORATION OCCURS WHEN A POTTERY ITEM HAS CRAZING AND IS CLEANED WITH A PRODUCT CONTAINING BLEACH. DO NOT BE DETERRED BY MY DESCRIPTION – THIS IS A NICE PLANTER THAT CAN BE ENJOYED AND USED AS INTENDED. NICE ITEM, NICELY PRICED.

THIS LISTING IS FOR A MCCOY ROOSTER PLANTER! MADE IN 1941 AND IN UNUSUAL COLORS – THE ROOSTER IS GRAY WITH DARKER GRAY/PURPLE UNDERTONES AND A GREEN OVERCAST – DIFFICULT TO EXPLAIN BUT IS VERY PRETTY.

HE’S IN GREAT SHAPE – NO CHIPS, NO CRACKS! HE HAS A PRODUCTION NON-COLOR/GLAZE AT BOTTOM EDGE. A POINT OF HIS COMB CAME OFF DURING REMOVAL FROM MOLD – HAS COLOR AND GLAZE – APPARENTLY THIS WAS A COMMON OCCURRENCE BECAUSE ROOSTERS SHOWN IN SEVERAL REFERENCE BOOKS HAVE THIS SAME MISSING POINT.

HE HAS A COUPLE PRODUCTION RUBS (NON-COLOR/GLAZE) ON ONE WING AND ONE ON HIS CHEST – THEY ARE PRODUCTION AND OF NO CONSEQUENCE!

#2992 – MCCOY POTTERY – “NO HUNTING” BIRD DOG PLANTER - $250.00

ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL MCCOY “NO HUNTING” PLANTER! THIS ITEM WAS PURCHASED AT THE SAME ESTATE SALE AS OUR ITEM #2991 PLANTER. THIS ONE HAS RICHER COLORING – GREENS ARE DARKER AND THE “NO HUNTING” SIGN STILL HAS ITS ORIGINAL COLD PAINT. PLANTER IS IN WONDERFUL CONDITION BUT AS SOMETIMES HAPPENS BETWEEN VIEWING THE ITEM AND ACTUALLY PURCHASING IT, THE BIRD SUSTAINED A VERY LIGHT GLAZE DING (IN THE EDGE OF THE BLUE COLOR). IT COULD BE EASILY REPAIRED, COLOR TOUCHED-UP, OR JUST ENJOYED AS IS BECAUSE IT’S NOT GLARINGLY NOTICEABLE! CONSIDERING THE DARKER COLORING AND OVERALL EXCELLENT CONDITION OF THIS PLANTER, I DO NOT CONSIDER THIS TO BE DETRIMENTAL –IT’S A BEAUTIFUL PLANTER!

#2991 – MCCOY POTTERY – “NO HUNTING” BIRD DOG PLANTER - $275.00

MCCOY’S LARGE PLANTERS ARE DIFFICULT TO FIND – ESPECIALLY IN GOOD CONDITION – THIS ONE IS WONDERFUL! IT’S THE LARGE PLANTER SHAPED LIKE A STONE WALL WITH A FENCE AND IN-MOLD GREENERY IN CENTER. STANDING IN FRONT OF THE FENCE IS A BIRD DOG WITH A BIRD IN HIS MOUTH – THERE IS AN IN-MOLD “NO HUNTING” SIGN ON THE FENCE POST BEHIND HIM! THERE IS NO “USE” EVIDENCE TO THIS PLANTER OTHER THAN MINOR CRAZING – THAT’S IT! SUPER ITEM.

MADE IN 1946, THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL MCCOY SWAN PLANTER! GRACEFUL SWAN HAS ONE UPRAISED WING TO HELP PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR YOUR SLIGHTLY TALLER FLOWERS. PLANTER WOULD BE LOVELY IN A BATHROOM FILLED WITH POTPOURRI, GUEST SOAPS, OR ROLLED/FOLDED HAND TOWELS. MARKED ON BOTTOM: MCCOY. PLANTER IS IN WONDERFUL CONDITION WITH NO CHIPS OR CRACKS.

#2938 - MCCOY POTTERY -- CAT AND SPINNING WHEEL PLANTER SOLD

BEAUTIFUL MCCOY PLANTER IN THE DIFFICULT TO FIND GREEN AND COLORS WITH BLACK DOG! IT’S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I’VE SEEN THIS STYLE PLANTER IN THESE COLORS! MARKED MCCOY, USA AND IS IN WONDERFUL CONDITION – IT HAS A PLACE ON UNDERNEATH INSIDE RIM EDGE THAT I BELIEVE TO BE A COMBINATION PRODUCTION FLAKE-OFF (PIECES ARE FIRED ON INTERIOR BOTTOM) AND A “USE” SLICE TYPE CHIP. (THE PRODUCTION PART IS SMOOTH WITH GLAZE, THE “USE” PART DOES NOT HAVE GLAZE.) I DON’T BELIEVE THIS TO BE DETRIMENTAL TO USE OR APPEARANCE OF THIS LOVELY AND DIFFICULT TO FIND PLANTER!
