Vintage Brush McCoy Showboat Planter

Collectibles : Pottery

 

Back when these were produced, this charming old pottery would have been called a "dish garden". It's a Mississippi paddle wheel steamboat with "Showboat" on the wheel and an "N" on the smokestack--perhaps for New Orleans? The planter is a vintage lime green color, and although it has lots of crazing typical of pottery of the period, it's in great shape with no chips or cracks (the little divit on the upper deck's edge was done in the making). There's some planter residue on the interior which can probably be cleaned with oven cleaner. The planter measures 7" long, 3 1/2" wide, and 4" high. Adorable!
