<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dgbjwc, post: 9491129, member: 308&quot;]Sorry, I appear to be a bit late to the party again. Your flower pot is indeed McCoy from the 1930&#039;s. McCoy simply called it a flower pot and saucer. It didn&#039;t have a formal pattern name and, as far as I know, there were only two pieces in this pattern with the other being a floor vase. Necco and Sand Dollar are collector designations but if you are selling it I would use both in the title. With a little luck there&#039;s a link below that will provide you a picture of the floor vase. I wasn&#039;t able to turn up a book reference for the flower pot but the floor vase is well documented. If other listings are assigning it a number it&#039;s possible there is a catalog sheet out there somewhere that I&#039;m not aware of. I haven&#039;t seen many examples of the flower pot so it may be rarer than the floor vase. In the 1930&#039;s McCoy only used an NM (for Nelson McCoy) mark on their pottery if they used a mark at all. My floor vase is unmarked. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for the hard water marks I&#039;ve had good luck with a toilet bowl cleaner that is made to remove hard water stains. I&#039;ve had bad luck with bleach but didn&#039;t know about your vinegar trick. Sometimes you can&#039;t save the saucers. There is discoloration that can set in if water sits in the saucer too long too many times. To be honest I&#039;m not sure why McCoy even made the attached saucers. They are usually too shallow to hold much water.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
