We have all see this adorable wall pocket
in antique shops. This lovely piece was made by Shawnee
Pottery. It can be seen on page 102 of Shawnee
Pottery, An Identification & Value Guide, by Mangus.
It has no mark on the back.
Recently,
however, these have been popping up all over online
auctions and web sites bearing the "McCoy" marking on
the back.
Did McCoy ever make this piece? No,
they did not. The pieces that are marked McCoy are
fakes. Someone used an original Shawnee piece to create a
mold, and put the "McCoy" mark on the back in hopes
that collectors would buy them up thinking there were McCoy.
