Mt. Clemens Pottery

[cathy morbitzer]

thanks so much about the info on the sale of McCoy to Mt Clemens. I have 
some pieces that I liked that looked similar to McCoy and I bought them 
just because I liked them. They are marked MCP. I also collect 
Roseville. ANd have many pieces of Nelson McMcoy. Again, thanks for the 
info.
