McCoy Pottery Marks Identification
McCoy pottery marks look deceptively simple, often nothing more than the company name molded into the base, but the style of the mark, where it sits, and whether it exists at all carry real dating information. Nelson McCoy production ran from 1910 into the 1980s, and the marks changed enough across those decades that you can usually place a piece within a broad era from the base alone. By the end of this guide you will know the major mark families, the lines collectors hunt, and the telltales of the fake cookie jars that flooded the market in the 1990s.
