This McCoy vase is an excellent example of the company's 1930s matte glaze ware. It has a draped design overlaid with a coordinating coral pink and green matte glaze. It is figured at the base with a leaves and berries design. On the back of the vase at the base the drape ends with a tip of a horn--influenced no doubt by the popular cornucopia theme of the day.<p>

The vase is 8 inches high and 4 1/4 inches across the top. It also is 4 1/4 inches on the bottom of the base. The end of the horn extends approximately one inch from the side at the base. <p>

The vase is unmarked--as were all of that line. Please see McCoy Pottery Collector's Reference and Value Guide, Volume 1 by Bob and Margaret Hanson and Craig Nissen published 1997. This vase is shown in the middle of the first row at the top of Page 29, along with identical vases in other glazes.<p>

This vase is in excellent condition.<p>
