My family has been collecting McCoy pottery and others. My grandfather had a furniture store in Ohio in the 1950’s. The pottery salesman would come and show the latest line. Florist used the planters for their flower arrangements. When my grandparent’s house was gone thru, mom got the pottery. Then when Martha Stewart highlighted McCoy on her show my mom & brother started collecting more. They live in Ohio so had more opportunities to find it. Even here in Oregon I’ve been able to build my collection. I like the wall pockets and any of the blue pieces. Thanks for the video!
What an awesome memory to have! Thanks for watching Rebekah!
That had to be a rush . What a wonderful experience. Now days you find them so easily. I think with this generation it’s all about new. I’ve seen so many collections of things that the now people are more into new. Keeping up with the Johnsons. I’ll stick to beat of my own way .♥️
Brush, McCoy and Brush-McCoy Pottery - a very brief synopsis:
In 1899, JW McCoy formed the JW McCoy Pottery Company. In Dec 1906, George Brush formed the Brush Pottery Company, starting operation in 1907. Brush burned to the ground in 1908. In 1909, George Brush joined the JW McCoy Pottery company, buying 10 shares. In 1911, he bought another building and re-opened Brush Pottery. Also in 1911, the two companies merged to form Brush-McCoy Pottery. In 1914, JW McCoy died. The McCoy family sold their interests in 1918, and the company was renamed Brush Pottery in 1925.
Meanwhile, Nelson McCoy (son of JW) opened his own company, Nelson McCoy Sanitary Stoneware, in 1910. That is the company that became the McCoy you know today.
McCoy and Brush were competitors for their entire existence.
Thanks for more insight
My Mother and her 4 very close cousins (who were like sisters) began collecting McCoy pottery back in the mid 70s. One of the cousins was doing flower gardening in the backyard of her family's old homeplace and amazingly dug up a medium sized green McCoy planter in great but dirty condition. All 5 of these women enjoyed antiques, especially Victorian style and they had books on antiques. The cousin finding the planter discovered that even back then McCoy pottery was sought after by collectors. These 5 women jumped on the McCoy bandwagon even joking how they should all start digging around in their gardens and yards for McCoy! To this day I still own my Mother's pieces and collect my own. I also greatly enjoy adding to my Victorian furniture. Art Deco styles mix very well with Victorian and my appreciation for that grows as well. It's a pleasure discovering your channel. I'm subscribing and telling my good close friends about your channel...we all enjoy thrifting and antiquing. Thank you for your time and work in creating a superb channel. I look forward to discovering more of your channel as time allows.
Glad you like it Curtis! Love hearing stories of collecting
Hi , I have been collecting Mc Coy pottery for 50 years. Omg!!!! Started collecting with the flower pots, love the vases,and cookie jars. I need to down size some of my finds. Getting to a point where I just want my favorites. Thank for the info
Glad you enjoyed the video Sandra! Sounds like you have an amazing collection
Thanks for your McCoy video . I have two perfect Blossum Time 1940 era vases from my Grandmother. Now I know a little about them
Wonderful!
I started collecting McCoy grape designed vases in Virginia back in 1999. Somehow, the grape designed vase attracts me.
Thank you for sharing McCoy’s pottery.
That is a beautiful design I see why you collect it
I've collected McCoy for 30 years. Several of my pieces were .50¢ up to $ 2.00. Never cared what they were worth because I love it all. Might just do research as I am now more curious. Great video..I subscribed
Thanks Donna! Money is the least important factor in my opinion but hopefully you have some real gems on your hands
Love McCoy vases and flower pots!! Buy every one I can, green is my favorite! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks for watching Elaine
Can you do videos on Hull and Roseville pottery? I use to love looking at these items and own a few. I have seen McCoy but like others more. Videos: Salt and Pepper shakers, Pictures, Porcelain dolls (The small ones like the birthday ones and the ones that were popular in the 50's. Great video as always!
Here is the Roseville video:

Thanks!
I would love to see a video on "hen on nest" glass candy dishes. It seems to have been very popular and I notice these items can be quite pricey.
✍️ noted
Seriously, my mother collects glass swans, so any "bird" video would be of interest to me as well.
Yes please !!
I love McCoy and have collected it for years. I love mainly vases, but also have bowls and other items. My favorite is the aqua or some people call it green, then later I collected yellow and white. Not sure if my photo will come through butI will try and show you my aqua collection. It is so striking to collect one color and display it together. Thank you for your video talking about it. I have many books on McCoy, once you start, hard to pass up any piece.
That's awesome! Would love to see pics
Thank you. I collect McCoy pottery. I have since my mom passed she had 2 pots. Since then I buy a pot whenever we see them. Small to 10”. I also have Shawnee, & Hull. Great info. I’m in Canada.
Awesome! Thanks for watching and happy collecting
Love Bauer Pottery!
Nice stuff
I really enjoyed the history, as I do on all your collectible videos. I have my grandmother's McCoy planters and as all my hand-me-downs, they're valuable to me.
I have a lot of old "country" collectibles, from butter churns to farm related items. I know that's a broad subject but I'd love to see videos. Sock darners, soap "cages" for making dish water from soap slivers, rolling pins, saws, mule drawn plows.
I love McCoy pottery. I’ve collect the vases and planters for 20 years.
That's awesome Kim! It is a great product
❤❤❤I have some blue cornflower, and some gold butterfly bowls still looking for more ..yes there is so much sentimental value ...mom cooking some great yummy casseroles ❤...and a fire king bowl ..any enamelware...I ❤❤❤
Sentimental value is priceless 🙂
Very interesting, thank you! I have a McCoy dish/crock. I inherited it from my mother. She told me it was her mothers, my grandmother, and that she was a "real McCoy." It's one of my favorite pieces in my kitchen! To me, it's priceless!
That's awesome! It's always but your memories over money 🙂🙂
Love McCoy! Had an aunt that was an antique dealer and she had a great collection! I would love to see a video on collectible toys or Fenton glassware
We have done a Fenton video here you go...

Thanks! Very interesting 🤔 I’ll keep my eyes open for it.
Thanks for watching Liliana!

Glad you enjoyed the video Kim! Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching Linda! I'll mark it down
Enjoying your channel,and knowledge.
Thanks Debbie!!
I have one McCoy piece, my Ivy tea pot, I just love it.
Very interesting video. I always learn so much every time I watch one of your videos. Have a blessed day. 🙏😊❤😊🙏
Thanks for watching Diane
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Next week...either Hen on Nest or Viking
Perfect I'll mark it down! Thanks for watching
I really enjoyed this video. This is my first time seeing your RUclips channel. I really learned a lot and I have now subscribed. Thank you for posting this and I am looking forward to viewing more videos.
Thank You Tracy! Glad you enjoying the videos
I love older McCoy, especially the green. I've always thought the blossom time line (and several others) are tacky looking. To each his own!
Absolutely! So many choices to collect from McCoy
Agree. I like green, aqua, and brown pieces.
McCoy, Leeds, American Bisque, ect .......Love it all!
My favorite piece of pottery is the pastel colored Donald Duck cookie jar! I think Leeds or Bisque had the license God knows who painted it? I don't really care it just reminds me of my grandmother! Lol! Big wimp here!
They do produce some very beautiful pieces
Would like to see a video on Weller, or how to identify crystal. Thanks ! Love your videos.
I'll add it to the list
Awesome information and knowledge gained Thank you very much Good People for your lovely video
I only watch in RUclips...I don't have any piece.
Stay cool
With Love from SAM

Glad you enjoyed the video!
Would love to see a video on cast iron door stops, Victorian era collectibles, salt and pepper shakers.
I'll mark it down Debbie thanks for watching
Thank you i enjoyed it
Thanks for watching Dawn!
@@66uniqueantiques i would love to send u a picture of a camel. No one can tell me what are where it came from. Looks like it was removed from a cement plate.
Please do just email it to mfetterhoff03@gmail.com
I have the Koala bear cookie jar but did not know its Mc Coy
MCoy also made bird baths, in the book I have said family kept many of those items, very difficult to locate. Thank you for really great information.
Interesting
I love ur videos and that u tell about the history. I would love some videos on maybe a price guide or something on specific pieces. And as a hair stylist I feel I should let u know ur beard is crooked and a little trim and shaping it would do wonders lol 😉😉. But back to the topic where do u find the value of individual pieces that is more the true value and not someone just getting rid of it on eBay cause it didn’t sell at their yard sale or something?
Holly, my barber isn't doing beard trims because of covid and it's killing me 🤣🤣. Glad you are enjoying the videos 🙂
I like the voiceover though👍😃👏
Thanks Mylene
I have a early mccoy sanitation piece a vase . I believe its matte green blue .very nice condition.bought for .50 20+ years ago.
That's awesome! What a great buy Angela
I’m probably the only person to collect the chipped,cracked or broken. And of course the good stuff also . I actually use the non perfect ones . All my plants indoors and outdoors have McCoy planters. I love and think it’s so beautiful I just have to use it. So if anyone wants to get rid of some contact me .
Great Idea!! Anything is better then throwing them away
Unlike other art pottery McCoy hasn't seen as large of a price decline in the past decade and a half as other art pottery companies like Roseville or Weller. Prices and competition has always been strong for many of its pastel colored vases and flower pots. I suggest checking out McCoy Hyacinth vases, their water lily vases with the lizard handles, and some of the assortment of McCoy stretch animals out there.
Unfortunately with McCoy you have to worry about the many reproductions out there. See reference books and some informative websites online. There is also some Facebook groups out there on McCoy with an avid community and some real experts.
Great advice
I never saw a vase like that before from McCoy. On ebay l saw a horse planter in tan for $1,ooo. Lots of cookie jars are going for high prices. The Blackware Lady cookie jar is always going for $100. It's just amazing to see some different things in from the same company.
I agree 🙂

On our trip to Portland, we stopped for gas in an off-the-freeway gas station, and there were 3 antique shops in the blink-&-you'll-miss-it town. In the first, I bought a lot! It was such a large place, that we never got to the 3rd shop (my Sister was in a hurry to get to Portland to see her daughter.) I bought a McCoy-style vase for $45 because the colors would go well in my kitchen, and I could put cut flowers in it that my neighbor drops off. Wouldn't ya know, I saw the exact same vase in a collectables store in Portland for half that?
That will happen, I've bought many things that I ended up finding cheaper elsewhere. As long as your displaying it at home and your happy with it that's all that matters
I would love to see a video on glug fish pitchers. I have four of them now.
Ok ✍️
Hi colorado
Video on old wood coffee grinders.
✍️ noted 🙂
I collect skulls (not real ones). Crystal skulls, stone skulls, resin skulls, carved wooden skulls, poured metal skulls, skull ashtrays, stuff like that. I don't know if that's worth a video but I'd love to know if anyone else is into these things too!
Interesting! I'd have to look in to it i guess
I have a vase that is over 120 yrs. old. Its passed down through the family. Its a light blue glaze with small pink flowers on it. It has no markings on it. Apparently at some time it was broken, but glued back together perfectly. I almost could not tell it was broken at first. Would the fact that it was broken and glued back together make it unvaluable?
It definitely hurts the value
Thank you for sharing . I wish I had your knowledge . There is a local auction house which will be selling a lot of glassware . several hundred pieces of Roseville pottery , a lot of Granetware and stone jugs . What caught my attention was a Northwood pitcher and 5 goblet set the pattern is Peacock on fountain in cobalt . The prices on e-bay are all over the place one current auction is at $35.00 and two more are listed at $355.00 and $795.00 . Have you sold these in the past and what would you advise . The auction house is in a small remote town in Alabama .
We have not sold a ton of northwood mainly because we don't get it in often. Feel free to email me some pictures if possible and I'll see if I can help
@@66uniqueantiques Thanks for the reply , the auction was this morning and I decided not to go . I was afraid I'd overspend not knowing an actual value . I seem to be drawn to rare items I've never seen before . The only drawback is now I'll never know what it sold for .
That is a problem I run in to alot. 🤣 I'm sure there will be another one down the line
Art glass. Paperweights. Roseville.
✍️ already have a collecting 101 video on roseville.....check it out
@@66uniqueantiques I am a new subscriber. Have not seen any other videos. This was my first. Will check. Thanks.
I have two mc coy pottery one has a small chip How does it devalue ? Can I still sell it or just forget it
It just hurts it for resell...no just know you won't get full price
I would be interested in learning about collecting Porcelain Dolls. Enjoying your videos!
Alright I'll put it down! Thanks for watching
Sun colored glass
✍️ got it down
I would like to see a video on Viking Glass. I just started collecting it and know I’d learn a lot from you
Alright Randy I'll add it to the suggestions
So question... if they are chipped or repaired are they not worth anything???
They are not completely worthless but they do take quite a hit on value
What did they sell on Ebay or?
Search sold listings to find out
One just sold for 3,000 on eBay
That's Awesome! A Great Maker To Collect!
closed captions please
Ok
Go Green
Go White! 😃
Do they have any special markings?
Some have distinct markings to tell when they were made but some of the older ones are unmarked
That means you need to know your stuff!
The Hatfield pottery was more collectable but it was all destroyed by the McCoys during the long-standing family feud between them.
🤣🤣
Nice information except McCoy did not close in 1982, they closed in 1990. Brush Pottery closed in 1982, not McCoy.
fiestaware and HLC
I'll mark it down
Linens
✍️ got it down
Found this I think it is McCoy
brush mccoy ,1911-1925
Did you mean utilitarian?

I’d watch your videos when you shave your beard.
Haha I don't see you watching very many videos then 😂😂
Hi thank you dot great info. Why are the guys these days wearing beards. As a woman I don’t find it attractive. No offense looks dirty. I don’t get why looking like a lumber jack. I don’t even understand the tattoos why can you tell me
Glad you enjoyed the video. I have no idea why most men have beards, me personally, I just enjoy the look and since I can't grow it on my head I grow it on my face
Please check out your dictionary and read the meaning of the word unique! It stand alone, never to be used with an adjective or anything else. Unique is unique. That's the only word you need to use when an item is one of a kind or maybe the only one in the world. People are unique, like you. Even if you were an identical twin there would still be a slight difference or two between you. Haven't meant to preach but my fifth grade English teacher would be proud of me. When you are in the public eye please be careful how you use this crazy English language
Charles if my video has made your English teacher proud of you then a positive has come out of it. Glad this made you feel good. God Bless
I collect McCoy pottery. I want to sell it at a discount. Around 15 pieces.
Nice! Should be buyers out there for the right price
