McCoy Pottery

I have been collecting McCoy pottery for over 20 years. And Salt & Pepper shakers. And Wall Pockets. Fruit-shaped objects are a favorite. I started when I was given a tiny McCoy flowerpot that was my grandmothers - blue wash with dragonflies. When I lived in Grand Junction Colorado I used to hit the antique stores every weekend; but it doesn't seem to be a popular thing to do anymore - and things I collect are scarce. (Except for old books which I just acquired a couple of box fulls - which included many first editions.)

The two pots on the very right end of this shot are pretty rare lavendar butterfly, in unusual shapes.
I don't have great pictures online. I will try to scan in some better shots of my collections.
