Book Description

THE GUIDE TO BRUSH-MCCOY POTTERY catalogues an extensive collection of pottery manufactured by the Brush-McCoy potteries in Roseville & Zanesville, Ohio. Colored photographs of over 1,400 pieces of pottery are included, identified by size, production number, & date of manufacture. The book contains copies of orginal Brush-McCoy catalogue pages from 1910 through 1981. Other interesting historical data from this time period include descriptions of the ways in which glazes were used, detailed manufacturing techniques, information about the owners of the potteries & the designers, & comments from the employees at the potteries. The only other reference to Brush-McCoy potteries has been out of print for ten years. The book includes a 1992-1993 Price Guide Insert. The prices for the pottery illustrated in the book were set with a low to high value. Eleven professional pottery dealers from different demographic areas throughout the United States participated in establishing the suggested prices. The Price Guide also includes pottery notes, photographs, & catalogue sheets which are additions to the original publication. The authors plan to periodically update the Price Guide.
