McCoy Pottery has often employed simplicity in presentation & natural orientations in many of their creations. This would seem to be especially relevant when creating containers for one’s favorite floral plantings. Many of their planters are sought after & remain highly collectable today even though manufactured nearly eighty years ago. This particular example produced in the 1940’s is called a Dragonfly planter. Several clusters of its namesake are found on opposing sides seemingly darting among surrounding leafy plants. Emanating from around the rim, numerous shoots & stems work their way downward culminating with the primary elements gathered toward the base. The attached saucer continues the veined & foliage theme. All of the components are embossed adding additional depth & visual interest. Fired in an off white subdued glaze, it stands 3 1/8 tall & is 3 1/8 across the top. There are several glaze pops around the rim & random pin pricks around the body which are synonymous with McCoy pieces. They do not adversely affect its whimsical display. There is some slight discoloration on the interior presumably from use. Having a shape number of 111, the underside is unmarked. It is in good condition & would make for a wonderful stand alone decoration or addition to your art pottery collection.
