About this title

Synopsis

McCoy is probably the best known of all American potteries due to the wide variety of pieces they produced since 1910. This new reference work respectfully becomes an ideal companion to our Collector's Encyclopedia of McCoy Pottery written by the Huxfords in 1980 - which has long been our bestselling pottery book. McCoy Pottery Collector's Reference and Value Guide provides even the experienced McCoy collector with new insights along with over 2,500 pieces featured in over 700 beautiful color photographs. Many pieces have never before been referenced. The authors, long-time collectors of over 5,000 pieces, present over 100 wall pockets and 35 jardiniere and pedestal sets, so popular with today's collectors. Complete lines, such as the Butterfly line, are featured as well as many gold-trimmed and matte glazed art pottery pieces, making this guide a must-have for all pottery dealers and collectors. Each item photographed is described and given a price range based on today's volatile market. 2004 values.
