A beautiful antique Brush McCoy majolica corn cannister. Not necesarily for storing corn mind you, although it would be fun for holding popcorn kernels.
Old worn flake on the underside rim of lid. Measures 7" h x 5."
This line was designed in 1910 by McCoy designer John Cusick, who signed his wares at the base of the pitcher handles, Corn Ware was created at McCoy but fully flourished after McCoy's merger with the Brush Pottery in 1911. An expansive line, Corn Ware was made with pitchers in six sizes, ale pitchers in 24oz and 18 oz sizes, butter canisters in two pound & three pound sizes, cereal, salt & tobacco containers along with wall pockets, condiments, a teapot & mugs. It was made in two color glazes as well as --after 1918-- in solid green. It is believed to have remained in production until about 1925 when the McCoy name was dropped from the Brush McCoy pottery.
