Lovely pieces. Can't tell you much but I'll bet there was a matching sugar at one time. It doesn't look American so I think any clues will be in...
I love the glaze and shape on your vase. You are correct that it is not Brush McCoy onyx. I don't think it's Weller either. The green is what...
Thank you for your opinions folks. Nokita, thank you for the articles. I don't have much of a chemistry background though. Thanks for comments,...
Tomorrow's weather is hot and muggy, then more storms tomorrow night leading into a nice cool weekend. Can't wait - never was a fan of hot...
The opaline part is non-reactive. The clear glass portion has a light green glow but not as strong as the glow I usually get from vaseline/canary...
I agree with toomanytocount. Certainly not fake. The ranges of the auction house were a bit optimistic. The only issues are that Japanese...

I'm back! I posted the following on the McCoy Pottery Facebook page: "A person on one of the other boards I hang out at (antiquers.com) has a...
Not on Facebook!!! Heavens!!! No problem, I'll ask for you. Don
You might want to give the McCoy Pottery Facebook page a shot. Those folks know their stuff. If Chiquita doesn't know nobody knows. Don
Oh dear! No, I'm sorry, komokwa, but I'm well past the age where I could get away with that thong! Now there was a time... Don
Reminds me a bit of Royal Bayreuth but the quality isn't quite there. It could be transfer with hand painted background or accents. As fully...
Hello Board Buddies - I purchased these candlesticks at auction yesterday and can't seem to find anything about them. They measure about 7 3/4"...
