McCoy vase?

I ran this through Google lens and a few photos indicate it is a McCoy item made circa 1941, even though it isn't marked. I thought McCoy marked their items. I then looked on eBay. Not many exactly like mine, bit some similar ones have sold in the $20 - $25 range. I don't think I could get $3 for it at my garage sale.

 

Not all McCoy is marked and not all pieces that look like McCoy are McCoy. I will look in my books for you later today.

If I had it I would sell it for $18-$25, I would happily pay $3 at a yard sale

 

I have that same vase Deb in green and mine is marked McCoy.

 

That round circle is a very faint McCoy mark, I think. I some McCoy vases with round marks. I'd think it would move fast at $10.

 

Up until WWII most McCoy was unmarked. Around WWII McCoy started transitioning to marking their products. Your vase was produced during that transition period. It's not uncommon to find examples from that period either marked or unmarked. Unmarked McCoy is sometimes ends up being more valuable than marked since it often slips past the eye of uneducated dealers. A $3 garage sale vase could bring around $30 or more once properly identified.

It's important to note that McCoy never filed for a trademark for any of the marks they used. As a result, there are reproductions and fantasy shapes on the market. An uneducated dealer can lose money on marked McCoy if it turns out to be one of the reproduced pieces.

 

Thank you for that informative comment, dgbjwc.

 

Sorry this took so long, this photo is from “The Collectors Encyclopedia of McCoy Pottery” by Sharon & Bob Huxford. Your vase is shown 2nd row left. The description says it was made around 1941 and should have the round McCoy mark

 

Thank you for the info, Marie!
