Featured I need help w/ a pair of Nelson McCoy bookends please.

I wasn't able to find these in my McCoy pottery book, but I did find a listing on eBay & the seller called them Lily planters bookends. The ones in my book that they are calling Lily look nothing like these.

So does anyone know what these are called & what this color of glaze is called?



Thanks for any & all advice or opinions!!

 

Seems on eBay there are 'calla lily' and 'lily bud'. This one looks like the one you have I think:

Here's a pair on eBay:

@wiscbirddog - Thanks!!

I think one of those is the one I found. Unfortunately one of mine has a tiny chip at the end of the bud, so we will see where it ends up.

 

The description in the $45 pair is closer to being correct. These are usually considered part of what collectors call the lily bud line although the glaze on this pair is not a typical glaze for that line. As far as I know these bookends are the only pieces McCoy made in this particular glaze. The $45 price is a bit ambitious especially with the chip but this glaze does seem more prone to damage than most McCoy glazes. IMHO, the person asking $75 for a single bookend is living in a fantasy world. These aren't common but can be found easily enough with a little patience and searching.

That may be why I can't find a name for this color of glaze.

 

Here's my pair. Behind them is the same shape in white.

There are reproductions of this shape. If you find any of this shape marked McCoy they are repros. The originals are all marked NM.

That is good to know.

Thanks again Don!!
