In the current auction we have a wonderful collection of hand crafted two toned brown drip pottery. Much of this pottery was birthed in Ohio. Addis Emmet Hull founded Hull Pottery in 1905 in Crooksville Ohio. In 1910, Nelson McCoy with his father J.W. McCoy and five others founded the Nelson Sanitary and Stoneware Company in Roseville Ohio.
These companies experienced growth and expansion then financial reverses as the Depression hit. Both rebounded for many years but ultimately closed their doors which makes us very sad. However, the love people have for these pottery pieces has not diminished.
We are so excited to be able to share this collection with you. We had so much fun discovering the marks, the drips, the glazes and hope you'll find something amazing in these treasures!
The unique Maple Leaf Candy Dish has the classic Brown Drip pattern and Hull Markings. It is a pretty design made for the ages! So warm and beautiful! See item 140.
With its deep brown and cream "drip". The Large brown leaf shaped vegetable bowls have McCoy USA marks on the bottom. See item 120 What care it took to make them.
All of these pieces have been well cared for and are in excellent condition. As you can see from the pictures these pieces all look great together and would look amazing on any table especially at Thanksgiving.
If you are interested in more information "The Hull Pottery Association" is headquartered in Crooksville, Ohio. Their goal is to "preserve, educate, and promote Hull Pottery, its collectors, and its heritage." see http://hullpotteryassociation.org McCoy also has a Collector’s Society see http://www.mccoypotterycollectorssociety.org You will find beautiful examples of the pottery and marks here.
Happy Bidding,
