From kreffitt@pbtcomm.net Thu, 02 Mar 2006 20:42:02 -0500 Date: Thu, 02 Mar 2006 20:42:02 -0500 From: Kevin Reffitt kreffitt@pbtcomm.net Subject: [Mccoypottery-talk] What is this???!? This one has me completely confused... eBay #6258759902 Before anyone jumps to a "fake" conclusion, look at it closely: Wax resist foot...consistent with McCoy Heavy staining, but NOT "Old English Furniture Polish". Looks old! Greenware cleaning methods consistent with a true production environment, like McCoy. Base clay body color is off-white, not a modern white slip clay. Glaze itself is thick, uneven, and rough. Completely consistent with a vintage production glaze. The color and method is completely off! It was sprayed with underglaze, and then a "wipe-back" was done on the "Cookies" and sash. Brown was also sprayed. McCoy used cold paint, not underglaze color. I'm completely convinced that this jar is old, real old. I have no idea who made this jar and why. Any ideas?

Most of the mccoy churns and crocks I have seen have "M" and a number indicating size. Pictures would be helpful as there were and are many potteries that made and some continue to make crocks.

I looked at that listing again. I also got my Mammy down and set her next to me. Here is what I found. The listing states it is 11" tall, which is correct, however, the circumference is wayyyyy off. The listing states something to the effect of 20 1/4" or so. Mine is exactly 24 inches in circumference at its widest. The mccoy mark on the bottom is also different than mine. Mine is incised, whereas the ebay one is raised. Although, I havent decided to tell myself that the ebay one is fake, the circumference makes me wonder.
