Little Red Riding Hood McCoy Cookie Jar

Collectibles : Cookie Jars : Mccoy

 

This example is a commonly found fake. The Nelson McCoy Company never made a Little Red Riding Hood. These cookie Jars found on the market today marked 'McCoy' are most often copied from a cookie jar design original to the Hull Pottery Company, or similar to their LLRH cookie jar design. Though the McCoy Pottery Company never owned, nor had the right to make, this specific design of cookie jar originally, many are often found marked with a spurious 'McCoy' mark illustrated.

This example (there are variations) is a contemporary fake currently available for purchase at a price of $56 from a well known reproduction wholesale supply house.

This particular example is 13 inches tall.

But, all you really need to remember in order to easily differentiate this cookie jar from authentic Little Red Riding Hood ware, is that McCoy never made this type of item, in any size.
