McCoy Flying Swallows Planter Jardiniere Jar bowl 1935

This small jardiniere or planter was produced by the Nelson McCoy Pottery Company around 1930 in Roseville, Ohio. The piece features a matte brown glaze with stylized swallows in flight, characteristic of the Art Deco and Arts & Crafts movements popular during this period. McCoy pottery pieces from this era are highly sought after by collectors of American art pottery for their distinctive designs and craftsmanship. The 'Swallows in Flight' pattern represents the company's artistic direction during the interwar period, appealing to collectors who appreciate early 20th century decorative arts and the naturalistic motifs that were prevalent in that era.
