A vintage McCoy pottery olive green ceramic Model T car planter. 9” L 4” H

McCoy pottery, produced by the Nelson McCoy Sanitary Pottery Company, is a well-known American ceramic manufacturer, particularly famous for its decorative earthenware. Founded in Roseville, Ohio, in the early 20th century, McCoy became widely popular for its whimsical and collectible items, including planters, cookie jars, and figurines, often featuring vibrant glazes and charming designs. The company's output spanned several decades, with many pieces becoming sought-after by collectors today.

This particular planter, designed in the shape of a vintage automobile, likely a Model T, reflects a popular aesthetic of the mid-20th century. Such car-shaped planters were common decorative items, often used to add a touch of novelty and charm to homes. The olive green glaze is characteristic of many McCoy pieces from the 1950s, a period when such decorative ceramics were highly fashionable.
