A VARIETY
OF THE NELSON McCOY #270 VASE
Reported
By Clarke Winslow
|
 |
The Nelson McCoy
Pottery produced the #270 vase in 1945. The 9-inch
tall vase was issued in pastel colors of White, Green,
or Peach. Those were the colors until 1948, when
they changed to Green, Coral, or Yellow. These were
the available colors until 1951, the last year the
vase was produced. The #270 vase is marked “McCoy”,
and it is shown on the left below. Notice the small
side handles.
Sometime during
the six-years that the #270 vase was produced, a
small design modification was made. The two cutouts,
which formed the handles, were omitted, evidently
as a cost saving measure. See the vase on the right
below.
This modified vase
is not shown in the pottery catalogs, and it is not known
exactly when the change occurred. Also, it is not known
how long the modified vase was produced. The vase is not
generally pictured in the McCoy reference books, although
it is pictured in the reference, Warman’s McCoy Pottery,
2 nd Edition. It is doubtful that this vase was produced
for a long time, since it is not readily found.
