I love collecting McCoy Pottery, but I’m picky about the pieces I collect so the collection is growing slowly. I’m trying to collect pieces that are only green, turquoise, pink or white. I want my collection to eventually have some visual punch, like Martha Stewart’s amazing collection see it here.
Complicating my collecting is the fact that I never purchase online. I like what I buy to have been found in my city, or on a trip. I’m a sucker for sentiment! Happily, I found a new piece at a local antique shop just a few days ago. Here are a couple pics of some of my collection:

| Hello new addition! |
The colour combo of my newest planter reminds me of a beautiful pale aqua and moss green kitchen kitchen featured recently on from Apartment Therapy here.
I think you're pretty wise not to buy online: I find, it can be so hard to judge colors. Plus, by hunting locally, you'll remember the circumstances behind every piece!
I too love McCoy pottery! I especially like the older pieces with simple lines and form. I have three collections: green, aqua, and white, and love amassing them together for a bold impact. Thanks for sharing your collection!
