Look at what I found!

McCoy pottery! I have been researching this pattern and it looks like it is from the 40's. Of course this is another find from the Great Garage clean up of 2010. I pulled it out because I have some pottery pieces with green leaves and I thought this would look nice with them. Of course I am in the snooty habit of turning over pieces of pottery and china to see if there is a stamp, sticker or mark on them. And I saw this -

I knew I had seen this mark before - where who knows, but of course I came in to do some research on the trusty laptop and find it. So I have cleaned it up and and I think I am going to set it up in the bookcase in the living room, I have the perfect spot all picked out.
I am still researching to see if this is not a fake, but even if it is a fake I like it and will keep it. The set doesn't have any nicks and only some very light crazing on it.
Who knows if this is the real McCoy or not - but I like it very much!
