Wall Pockets

Not only did they produce beautiful vases and planters, McCoy Pottery is also well known for the wall pockets they produced.  Wall pockets, which are really planters and vases that hang on the wall, were produced mainly during the 1940's and the 1950's.  As you will see in the photos shown below, there is a large variety.  Please note that there are MANY variations to the glazes shown.  

Unfortunately, Wall Pockets are one area of McCoy that has been hit hard with reproductions.  All of the pieces that we are aware of that have been reproduced will have an symbol below the picture.  Click on the symbol for information on the reproductions.

There are many photos on this page....it is slow to load, but I promise it will be worth the wait!

Fruit wall pockets - Although the actually sit on a different style leaf, these pieces are VERY similar to the fruit planters produced by McCoy.  Difficult to measure because of the jagged edges of the leaves, however, they are approximately 6 1/2" tall.  These pieces are unmarked, except for maybe a single initial impressed in the back.  The back of the piece has a distinctive circle that undoubtedly identifies it as McCoy.  Produced in the 1950's.
