McCoy Limited
McCoy
Limited is one of the eras of McCoy Pottery Collecting that draws
new interest. Nelson and Billie McCoy established this company and
produced numerous pieces after their retirement from Nelson McCoy
Pottery. Billie did most of the design work. Various holiday
motifs were followed in designing the items during this time and
most are marked either McCoy Ltd. or McCoy Limited.
Christmas is the favorite holiday for many, and there's no reason
not to have your McCoy Limited Christmas pieces on display during
this time of the year. There are numerous sizes of Christmas
Trees, some have the miniature bulbs and wiring for lighting.
Another design is the Christmas Scarf People, which are various
Christmas figures with scarves. Also there is the Christmas Line
(trees, Santas, Holly, etc.)
Easter
is represented by a Cross-vase, as well as a Cracked Eggs planter,
a Duck Planter, and a Bunny.
Halloween is a favorite holiday of many and is well represented by
various sizes of Jack-O-Lantern items. Among these are cups,
napkin holder, salt and pepper set, and different shapes, such as
different size ghosts, that are perfect to set over candles for
that frightening effect.
Other pieces of this type are The Haunted House, which shares the
limelight with McSkull - the shape of a human skull.
Another one is The Witches Hat Snack Server, which is one of my
favorites. Of course, there are many pumpkin designs with names
like Punkin’ Patch. Then there are black cats. It wouldn’t be
Halloween without a black cat.
Various other lines of McCoy
Limited include McLights, which are figural candleholders, Candle
Columns (Various sizes of columnar candleholders), Decorators
Collection (various designs), and Collectibles, such as bells,
music boxes and candleholders.
