This valuable text provides a sweeping survey of the McCoy pottery
produced by both the Nelson McCoy Pottery Company and its
predecessor, the Nelson McCoy Sanitary Stoneware Company. Among the
more than 750 color photographs are illustrations of McCoy wares
ranging from utilitarian stonewares to beautiful artwares,
including bookends, centerpieces, flowerpots, jardinieres, tea
sets, vases, and the ever popular cookie jars. Historical
photographs of the company's early years are also provided.
Accompanying the photographs are a history of the company,
beginning with the W.F. McCoy Pottery of 1848, a detailed
discussion of McCoy manufacturing techniques, and an examination of
the firm's numerous manufacturer's marks. In fact, these marks are
used in a unique way as tools to guide readers quickly and
efficiently to the wares they seek. Also included in this volume
are a bibliography, an appendix chronicling the many cookie jars
produced by the company over the years, and an index. Updated
values for the wares displayed are included in the captions.
