Vintage 1930's Nelson McCoy Long Handle Arts & Crafts Vase

Pottery

 

This is a great Arts & Crafts pottery piece made in the 1930's by the Nelson McCoy Sanitary Stoneware Company. It measures 9 3/8" tall, has a matte finish, and is that lovely old turquoise-y color. As you can see, the piece has overall crazing and on the back lip edge there's an area where the glaze never covered, and consequently a bit of glaze beside it flaked off; otherwise, no cracks or chips. The bottom is marked only USA, which is the way some McCoy Pottery was marked in the early days of manufacture. The vase weighs 2 lbs.
