I heart McCoy Pottery, but I’m picky about the pieces I collect. I’m trying to collect pieces that are green, turquoise, pink or white. I want my collection to eventually have some visual punch, like Martha Stewart’s:

Martha Stewart's McCoy Collection at her East Hampton Home |
I found this picture of Martha Stewart's amazing collection here.Complicating my collecting is the fact that I never purchase online. I like what I buy to have been found in my city, or on a trip. I’m a sucker for sentiment! Happily, I found a new piece at a local antique shop just a few days ago. Here are a couple pics of some of my collection:

The low turquoise dish isn't McCoy, but I love it still |

Hello new addition! |
The colour combo of my newest planter reminds me of this kitchen featured recently on
Apartment Therapy. I love, love, love this kitchen. So gorgeous.

Thanks, Apartment Therapy, for this gorgeous inspiration! |

McCoy Pottery is really varied. There are different kinds of pieces (cookware, bowls, vases, lamps) and many, many different styles. I love the mid-century cool "Harmony" line featured on this blog.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiTtrjeyvA7jvuNObJSEX-RJu3arFszL6QeU-1ZmSuSLBC2MK1Bi5dMS_NKEobl0p06YpxkrpZ8PA0nKFuZEyZh9GNTi9aoiH5p84aHu-DuY8cLkvQz47dh4MTrJzbqdw9iBkQ7IyA7fM/s320/McCoy+Harmony.jpg) |

For more info, there are plenty of books on collecting McCoy and here is a great
website.
Anyone else collect McCoy Pottery or have a different kind of pottery collection?
