McCoy Pottery Two White Lily Bud Shell Planters
$150.00 McCoy Lily Bud Shell Planters
This listing has beautiful and difficult to find McCoy planters from the Lily Bud line of 1941!
There is a pair in this listing – one planter is absolutely perfect and one has a production flaw causing a super tight (like a pencil mark) hairline.
The flaw: a small piece of pottery at rim edge came loose when removed from the mold and was smoothed back on prior to firing. During the firing process, a stress developed at one end of the flake and it also separated ever so slightly where the flake was smoothed onto the rim. Do not be deterred by my description – what I have described is production (it has color and glaze) and is a typical McFlaw.
The only possible “use” evidence is the super tight hairline I described earlier – it is on the outside and originates at the smoothed over flake – I believe it occurred during the firing/cooling process; not from "use".
Beautiful planters and are priced to reflect one being a little less than perfect.
