McCoy Pottery Flying Birds Planter

This listing has a lovely figural item -- the flying birds planter!

Made in the mid 1940s, planter is white with shiny over-glaze. Front has two in-mold swallows that still retain approximately 90% of their original cold paint.

Bottom of planter is marked McCoy.

Planter is in very good vintage condition -- rim edge has a 1/4" super tight interior hairline. It does not go through and actually looks like a craze line. The underneath of bird's beak has a 1/16" ding. The interior bottom has some under-glaze darkening which is usually a result of cleaning with a product containing chlorine bleach.

Do not be deterred by my description. This is a lovely planter, a wonderful addition to a McCoy Collection, and is a very difficult item to find!
