[Mccoypottery-talk] the list

[Jennifer Smith]

I guess I'm so used to this in the glass business that I don't really pay it
much attention
Quita.
There are molds from Phoenix from the 1800's which were used by McKee in the
early 1900's, then Kemple in the 50's and 60's, then Wheaton in the 60's and
then Westmoreland through the 80's and are now being used by Moser, Boyd and
Fenton.
As long as something is properly marked, what's the difference?  Like I
said, it is just a matter of where one is coming from I guess.
After all, the artists at Rookwood cdopied Beleek and then Weller, Owens,
and McCoy copied Rookwood and we all know that and understand it and accept
it.
What's the difference between then and now?  At least Kevin's wares are
marked as reproductions and still I see nothing wrong with it.
I will advertise an item as being an original mold made by so and so but
used by another factory or factories before it came to the factory which is
making it today.  In the glass business and the early standard glaze
pottery, one just has to know their stuff.....

I was waiting to see if anyone expressed the thoughts that I have, Mom
did....I don't think there should be any reference to McCoy in
fakes/look-a-likes-new productions, whatever.    If they're so in  demand,
let them stand on
their own...why not do original work instead of using  someone elses ideas
and
work.?  New comers to the collecting world get  really confused by all this
stuff....
