Story
The 1940s saw a massive shift in American decor as families sought to bring 'the outdoors in' to brighten their post-war suburban homes.
Maker / Origin
The Nelson McCoy Pottery Company, founded in 1910, became the gold standard for American functional art.
Condition & Value
The piece appears to be in good vintage condition with some expected shelf wear and light darkening on the unglazed foot ring. Quick ID could not verify a named-artist market here, so this is intentionally priced like decorative/local-sale art.
