<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dgbjwc, post: 11751774, member: 308&quot;]Not off the wall at all. I&#039;m not sure it was an individual but discrepancies you noted are exact the reasons I thought a different company might be responsible. That plus the bottom as verybrad mentioned. The color isn&#039;t that odd though. Brush didn&#039;t really use it but Hall China Company, for one, did use a color close to that green for some of their custard cups, teapots, and other kitchenware. I think it was more a depression era color but can&#039;t say for sure. It&#039;s not a strong seller (at least I&#039;ve never had much luck with it!).</p><p><br /></p><p>As for an individual recoloring a Brush McCoy pitcher, I think that&#039;s unlikely. The bottom of Brush pitchers of that age usually have an unglazed ring on the bottom with a glazed center. I can&#039;t recall a Brush McCoy pitcher made with a flat white bottom. </p><p><br /></p><p>verybrad could probably comment better on this that I can, but it wasn&#039;t unusual in the early part of the 20th century for multiple companies to use the same molds. I&#039;ve heard (but have no documentation) that some companies didn&#039;t even own all the molds they used but rather rented them from another company or a mold supplier. Producing molds was expensive so it saved them some bucks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
