Mccoy Pottery: A Field Guide (Schiffer Book for Collectors)

McCoy Pottery of 1848, a detailed discussion of McCoy manufacturing techniques, and an examination of the firm’s numerous manufacturer’s marks. In fact, these marks are used in a unique way as tools to guide readers quickly and efficiently to the wares they seek.
