McCOY POTTERY -- TALL STRAP VASE (WHITE)

THE LARGE MCCOY VASES ARE DIFFICULT TO FIND -- THE TALL STRAP VASES ARE NO EXCEPTION! THIS ONE IS WHITE WITH SHINY GLAZE AND MEASURES 12" TALL. MARKED ON BOTTOM: MCCOY, USA. IT IS BEAUTIFUL AND HAS NO "USE" EVIDENCE. HOWEVER, IT IS NOT PERFECT BUT THE IMPERFECTIONS ARE PRODUCTION -- NOT FROM "USE". THERE IS A SUPERTIGHT 3/4" STRESS ON INSIDE EDGE, HAS GLAZE AND DOESN'T GO THROUGH TO EXTERIOR. THE OTHER FLAW IS ALSO PRODUCTION AND IT IS ON THE BASE. DIFFICULT TO DESCRIBE BUT I'LL TRY: IT APPEARS AS THOUGH A SMALL SECTION OF POTTERY SEPARATED FROM THE VASE WHEN IT WAS REMOVED FROM THE MOLD. THE SEPARATION IS EVIDENT WHEN THE VASE IS TURNED OVER BUT WHEN SETTING UPRIGHT, IT JUST LOOKS LIKE A COUPLE OF STRESS MARKS. THE PIECE DID NOT COME OFF (OR BREAK AWAY) FROM THE VASE -- IT IS FIRMLY ATTACHED AT TOP AND SIDES, HAS GLAZE AND COLOR, AND WAS OBVIOUSLY FIRED THIS WAY. AS I SAID, DIFFICULT TO DESCRIBE. DO NOT BE DETERRED BY MY DESCRIPTION-- THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL VASE WITH ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE OF "USE". IT IS A WONDERFUL ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTION.
