For sale I have a lovely pottery Tea Set made by the Nelson McCoy Pottery Company of Roseville, Ohio. The pattern is Ivy Leaf and the set is complete with Tea Pot, Sugar and Creamer. The Tea Pot measures approximately 7 3/4" to the top of the handle, 10" from the spout to the opposing outer handle and is 6" deep.
The Sugar Bowl measures 3 3/8" tall (top of the handle), 6" long outer handle measurement and is 3 3/8" deep.
The Creamer measures 3 3/8" tall, 6" long and is 3 1/8" deep.
The Tea Set depicts English Ivy adorning each piece with a cleverly molded Branch for the Handles. There is an Egg Nog colored background glaze with naturalistic colors for the Branches and Leaves. You can see veining in the Ivy Leaves to give them a realistic touch. The set is done in a High Gloss glaze. What a nice country look with the trailing Ivy and the Earth Tones.
The Tea Set is considered to be in Excellent Condition as there are no chips, cracks, nicks or dings. There are a few pin pops and high gloss glaze misses but they do not detract from the set at all. There is minor crazing on the tea set but also unnoticable and does not take away from the value of this delightful find. The pieces are signed McCoy USA in raised relief.
The set was made Circa 1940's.
