#1202 - McCOY POTTERY -- DOUBLE DUCK WITH EGGS PLANTER (PINK) - $48.00
I
THINK THIS IS ONE OF MCCOY'S CUTEST LITTLE DUCK PLANTERS! THE PLANTER CONSISTS
OF TWO BABY DUCKS AND THEIR RECENTLY VACATED EGG SHELLS. THIS ONE IS IN A VERY
PRETTY SOFT PINK COLOR, MEASURES 5 1/2" TALL (BOTTOM TO TALLEST PART),
ABOUT 5 3/4" LONG, AND 3" WIDE. MARKED ON BOTTOM OF ONE EGG: MCCOY.
MARKED ON OTHER EGG: MADE IN U.S.A. ONLY EVIDENCE OF "USE" IS VERY,
VERY MINOR COLD PAINT LOSS! PLANTER HAS NO CHIPS, NO CRACKS, NO CRAZING! HAS A
FEW TYPICAL MCCOY PIN POPS AND A 1/2" PRODUCTION STRESS INSIDE BOTTOM --
NOTHING DETRIMENTAL TO USE AND IN NO WAY DISTRACTING TO APPEARANCE. PLANTER HAS
ALWAYS BEEN PAMPERED -- SHOWS NO EVIDENCE OF EVER HAVING BEEN USED AS A PLANTER,
BOTTOM DRY RINGS AREN'T EVEN DIRTY/STAINED! A WONDERFUL ADDITION TO ANY MCCOY
COLLECTION.
#961 - McCOY POTTERY -- BIRD DOG PLANTER (NO HUNTING) - $275.00
WOW!
THIS MCCOY PLANTER IS LISTED AS #74 OF HANSON'S TOP 100 MCCOY COLLECTIBLE
PIECES. EASY TO SEE WHY -- IT IS VERY LARGE WITH EXCEPTIONAL COLORING AND GREAT
ATTENTION TO DETAIL. MEASURES 12 1/2" LONG, 8 1/2" TALL. HAS A BIRD
DOG (OOPS! HE CAUGHT A BIRD!) AND HE'S STANDING IN FRONT OF A "NO
HUNTING" SIGN! PLANTER IS MARKED ON BOTTOM: MCCOY, USA. HAS NO CRACKS, HAS
2 SUPER TINY (1/16") DINGS ON BACK RIM EDGE (BEHIND FENCE) -- OF NO
CONSEQUENCE, THEY'RE SO SMALL! PLANTER HAS LIGHT GLAZE CRAZING. AN OUTSTANDING
PIECE!
#793 - McCOY POTTERY -- DOUBLE DUCKS WITH EGGS PLANTER (YELLOW) - $35.00
MADE
IN 1948, THIS MCCOY PLANTER IS SHAPED LIKE 2 DUCKLINGS WITH THEIR NEWLY VACATED
EGG HOMES! IS IN A VERY PRETTY YELLOW COLOR WITH A SHINY GLAZE. MARKED ON
BOTTOM: MCCOY (ON ONE EGG) AND MADE IN USA (ON OTHER EGG). PLANTER HAS BEEN WELL
CARED FOR, HOWEVER, THE "BRIDGE" THAT JOINS THE 2 SHELLS TOGETHER HAS
A VERY FINE STRESS MARK (LIKE A PENCIL MARK). ONE LITTLE DUCK HAS COUPLE CRAZING
MARKS ON HIS HEAD AND EGG RIM HAS WHAT APPEARS TO BE A "DING".
HOWEVER, UPON CLOSER INSPECTION, IT IS A SMALL PRODUCTION DARK SPOT -- HAS GLAZE
OVER IT. THIS IS A REALLY NEAT PLANTER THAT IS NOT EASILY FOUND -- DON'T BE
DETERRED BY MY VERY "PICKY" DESCRIPTION. IT'S NICE.
#633 - McCOY POTTERY -- PLANTER (LARGE DONKEY) - $68.00

#270 - McCOY POTTERY -- CLOWN WITH PIG PLANTER - $68.00
MADE
IN 1951, THIS IS MCCOY'S CLOWN WITH PIG PLANTER! PLANTER HAS APPROXIMATELY 65%
OF ORIGINAL COLD PAINT. MARKED MCCOY USA ON BOTTOM. IT IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION

CHIP ABOUT 1/4" ON BACK OF PLANTER. CLOWN HAS A SUPER TIGHT HAIRLINE RUNNING

"USE" EVIDENCE, THIS IS A VERY NICE AND COLLECTIBLE PIECE.
