McCOY POTTERY – HOBNAIL “ICE LIP” PITCHER

Reference books call this unmarked McCoy item and “Ice Jug” but I would describe it as a ball shaped pitcher. It’s from McCoy’s pretty Hobnail line of 1941 and is a pastel lilac/pink color. Pitcher is in amazing condition for its age – the ice lip has two production stress marks at inside edge. One stress has developed into a superficial hairline (looks like a craze mark!) across the ice lip and there’s another superficial one at inside edge of ice lip. These are not detrimental in any way – they are light and thin as a pencil mark. This pitcher is a super addition to a collection and is from one of McCoy’s most collectible lines – seldom found in this condition!
