During the late 20's and into the 30's the Pottery produced products that were fired with blended glazes and the designs were predominately dominated by, leaf and berry motifs. These glazes were earthy tones of brown and green. Many glazes were limited to the green and were more common and less expensive. They made these in mass throughout the 30's, reproducing the same successful designs which were functional which had an appeal to the public because they were inexpensive, attractive and every day usage pieces.
The McCoy Pottery Company survived the the depression and World War II, continuing to produce both functional and decorative art pottery. From about the mid 40's, the 50's, and even 60's the company produced a line of cookie jars, which is a major interest of McCoy collectors.
