[Mccoypottery-talk] Intro and Question

[Jennifer Ley]

Hi Jeanne

I'll let the cookie jar mavens answer specifically re: cookie jars, but
yes, there was a time when one company existed called Brush McCoy.  In
the early 1900's the McCoy's left and formed their own company and
started using their own pottery marks (also, they produced ware with no
marks at all).

So, there are Brush/McCoy vases from when the company was one entity,
McCoy vases from afterwards and Brush vases from afterwards.  Both made
cookie jars as separate companies, but I don't know how Brush marked
theirs.
