I found some pottery pieces at a Goodwill Store and a yard sale. 
The first is a white pitcher with 8 flat panelled sides similar to some of 
the wall pockets shown in a McCoy book. It has a small goose like the Goodie 
Goose cookie jar on the side, with its blue ribbon around its neck. The 
bottom is marked USA and has a number at the top, obscured by the heavy 
glaze. A friend says she saw one like it in a Fingerhut catalog at least 20 
years ago. Could McCoy have made the pitcher for Fingerhut? Is there any 
record of such a pitcher in any McCoy book?

The second piece is a large 7 1/2" teacup with a handle, that says "snacks, 
nuts,  CHIPS, nuts, Pop Corn,  PRETZELS" on the side in various styles of 
lettering (some are capitalized and some lowercase). It has three large 
asterisk designs interspersed between the words.The glaze is the transparent 
drippy green shown on the older plant stands and gardiniers. There is no mark 
on the bottom, but it is glazed in the indentation on the bottom and slightly 
crazed. Does anyone know of this piece?

How could I verify these pieces?
