#1852 - McCOY POTTERY -- HORSE PLANTER (A TOP 100 COLLECTIBLE) - $50.00

HAS VERY HEAVY GLAZE, IT IS MARKED WITH THE OVERLAPPING NM MARK BUT IT'S DIFFICULT TO SEE BECAUSE OF GLAZE. THIS IS A VERY NICE PLANTER THAT IS LISTED AS #18 OF THE TOP 100 MCCOY COLLECTIBLES. HOWEVER, IT IS NOT WITHOUT PROBLEMS AND HAS BEEN PRICED ACCORDINGLY -- IT HAS A 3/8" X 7/16" SLICE TYPE CHIP ON ONE FRONT FOOT -- SINCE PLANTER IS WHITE, IT DOESN'T JUMP OUT AT YOU. THERE IS A GLAZE CHIP ON RIM OF PLANTER THAT MAY HAVE BEEN RE-GLUED BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT HAS GLAZE AT TOP SO I THINK IT'S JUST A "BRUISE". THERE IS A SUPER TIGHT HAIRLINE THAT BEGINS AT RIM CORNER OF PLANTER (NEXT TO HORSE) AND EXTENDS 2 1/2" DOWN PLANTER AND AROUND TO HORSE'S FRONT LEG. HAIRLINE IS TIGHT AND DOESN'T GO THROUGH TO INSIDE -- IT'S LIKE A PENCIL MARK. FROM MY DESCRIPTION, PLANTER SOUNDS AWFUL DOESN'T IT? IT'S NOT -- BUT IT'S NOT PERFECT. THIS IS A DIFFICULT TO FIND ITEM IN A DIFFICULT TO FIND COLOR.
