[Mccoypottery-talk] LOY-NEL-A McCOY

[jimann@bellsouth.net]

Hello there,

I have inherited a very old bowl-shaped footed planter (jardiniere?) with the words LOY-NEL-A  on one line and McCOY stamped below on the bottom. It is 7.5" tall and 9.5" wide at the widest. The glaze is glossy in dark earthy tones ranging from a coppery brown to an olive green. On the front of the piece are beautifully hand-painted (in glazes) grapes & vine leaves, again in earth tones.  Can anyone give me some history on this piece? There are none of the regular McCoy pottery marks on the bottom and I have found nothing even remotely like it on Ebay.
Thank you,

Jim Ann
