History & Significance:

McCoy Pottery, founded in 1910 in Roseville, Ohio, became one of America’s most beloved pottery manufacturers, known for producing durable and decorative ceramic pieces. By the 1960s, McCoy had embraced a range of country-inspired, nature-themed, and collectible pottery designs, with many pieces featuring embossed animals, florals, and classic Americana motifs.

The pitcher and bowl set is a traditional form with deep historical roots. Originally used in the 18th and 19th centuries for washing up before modern plumbing, these sets became popular decorative items by the mid-20th century. McCoy’s 1968 turkey-themed version reflects both this heritage and the company’s ability to blend functionality with artistic craftsmanship.

Today, McCoy pottery is highly collectible, with vintage pieces like this ivory turkey pitcher and bowl sought after for their nostalgic appeal and craftsmanship. Whether displayed as a holiday centerpiece, added to a McCoy collection, or used as a functional decorative piece, this vintage set remains a treasured part of American pottery history.
