<p>[QUOTE="Joe2007, post: 903108, member: 1262"]As I've often repeated on this forum ad nauseum there is lots of reproduction Roseville & McCoy pottery out there. I see at least one (sometimes many) fake piece(s) of Roseville Pottery in every antique mall of any size I set foot into. Good thing about Roseville Pottery fakes is that many of them are relatively crude and easily spotted. Most will not say "Roseville USA" on the bottom but just "Roseville" and many have glazes that look and may actually be just spray painted on.</p><p><br /></p><p>McCoy Pottery fakes are in some instances much harder to spot since McCoy's wares are considerably more plain. Many reproductions will be slightly smaller than the original but that info is only handy if you carry you reference books and tape measure around with you while antiquing. There are many fake McCoy cookie jars some of them copied from Hull Pottery designs. If you see a little red riding hood cookie jar that says McCoy, not Hull, you know to run not walk away from that "deal".[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
