<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 384559, member: 308"]I just returned from a big McCoy auction outside Zanesville. If it is a McCoy pot it is undocumented and would be worth several hundred at least. Similar pots, though, were made by Shawnee, Morton, and others. I checked my Shawnee book and didn't see it there. I'll check my Morton book later tonight and scan my library to see if I can find any other likely suspects. Red clay would rule out McCoy but the water in areas of the Midwest is heavy in iron and I think that is what is causing the red we're seeing. A good toilet bowl cleaner that works on hard water stains should help clear it up. The bottom ring will probably never come back to buff color. I'd guess 1930's or 1940's. It's a lovely pot. If all else fails I would run it by the Facebook McCoy Pottery group or the American Pottery Identification page. If you're not on Facebook let me know and if it's okay I can post it for you.</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
