[Mccoypottery-talk] Betty's Pitcher

[LilCn@aol.com]

Hi Betty--I'm not familiar with your pitcher, but I think there was a time 
(not recently) when there were copies of some McCoy pieces made in Japan and 
clearly marked Japan.  For instance, McCoy made a couple of calf planters in 
the early 40s, and I found a copy of the smaller one, stamped Japan.  It was 
a little smaller, and the colors were under the glaze, but the shape was 
exact.  My guess is that it was produced in the late 40s or early 50s.  I 
have heard of other such copies--maybe your pitcher was one of them--Lillian
