McCoy Winged Vase, Midcentury
Kitschy and colorful, there’s something so stylish about Midcentury pieces. The right vase adds character to your life that you want to display. Find a piece here that you will keep forever.
The sweeping, art deco design of this coral vase would be perfect with a large bunch or grasses and wildflowers from the prairie. Due to the crazing present on the inside of this piece, it is best used as display or with a dried design. This McCoy vase has a wide mouth to accommodate a big bunch of blooms and measures 9.5” tall.
A note about the pottery…
Nelson McCoy Pottery Co. has its roots as a pottery company beginning officially in 1910, but its true rise to fame didn’t happen until 1933 when the company started to turn its attention to manufacturing decorative pieces. They were one of the first pottery companies to stamp their pottery a brand! Not every McCoy pottery piece has a branded stamp (especially pieces older than 1933), but many do! If you’re a nerd about antiques and vintage items like me, read more about McCoy pottery at the McCoy Pottery Collectors’ Society website.
Vintage Finds
Every vintage item that I forage has at least one story to tell. Use your imagination! Because vintage pottery has lived life, there may be minor crazing in the glaze or potential for it in future. Vintage pieces have much life to live yet. Personally, I recommend these as best suited to dried floral designs or display in a climate-controlled area, as water and extreme temperatures can accelerate wear. Keep in mind that all purchases on my website are final sale. If you have questions about piece quality, send them here!
