Hand-Decorated Brush Bowl
Signed
This
is a hand-decorated bowl (planter) with high relief slip painting from
Brush-McCoy, dated to about 1981 (see the Sanford Guide to Brush-McCoy,
page 106, item 8107, for this piece). This
8-sided pot measures about 5.5 inches wide at the rim and sits 3.5
inches high. It is in very good condition, with no flaws that I can
find (a bit of dirt stain on the interior). The design of yellow flowers
on a brown border is solid and nicely colored. It is definitely tan
(such as the photo above), not the washed-out white of the picture
below. This
vintage piece has an exposed tan clay foot ring, but not maker's mark
that I can see. There is an initial "RM" at the bottom edge
of the design. Price: $10.00.
Brush-McCoy
Ivory Round Bowl #6
This
lovely Brush-McCoy ivory-glaze round bowl measures 6.25 inches wide
at the sides, and sits 2.75 inches high. It features a rich cream-white
glaze with a dentate rim. This
pretty piece is in very good condition. There are no cracks or chips
or hairlines, but does have noticeable overall crazing; it displays
nicely (see closeup photos at top for details).
This
bowl has a hard-to-photograph incised mark on the bottom for "Brush
/ USA / 6." It is shown on page 96 of the Sanford Guide to
Brush-McCoy Pottery in an ad from the 1940s-50s. Price: $9.00.
Brush-McCoy Dark
Green Planter
6" Footed
Vase #551
This
is an ornately shaped piece of Brush pottery, with elegantly scrolled
handles on a green ribbed body. This "footed vase" is a
very richly dark semi-matte green glaze. It measures 5 inches high,
6.25 inches long across the handles, and 5.25 inches wide at the
rim.
There
are no chips, cracks, crazing, or hairlines. There is a fair amount
of mineral residue around the rim and foot (needs a thorough soaking),
and a bit of dirt on the interior.
This
piece is unmarked, but has the typical rounded white clay feet found
in much of Brush pottery. AND this specific piece is shown on page
121 of the Sanford Guide to Brush Pottery, where it is identified as
shape #551 and dated to 1976. Price: $9.00.
Nicely
Shaped Brush-McCoy
Gloss Green
Scroll-Footed Planter
This
nicely detailed Brush-McCoy green garden dish or planter measures 6-3/8
inches long, 4.5 inches wide (at the rim), and 3.75 inches high. It
is glazed in a multi-hued olive green glaze, with a scrolled foot base
and ribbed underside.
This
is an interesting piece because there is a lot of hand-work around
the rim and ends, as if the manufacturer were manually trying to fix
some production flaws (see closeup photos at top, where the rim is
a bit uneven and you can see the patch marks on the interior). It is
in fair to good condition, with one glaze pop or flake on the end of
the edge of the foot (again, see closeup photos, blue arrows). There
are no other chips or cracks or crazing that I can see.
I
cannot find any mark on the glazed bottom. It does have the rounded
wedgy foot pads typical of Brush. Price: $7.50. |
