Description
Stunning vintage McCoy Cascade green vase featuring a classic urn shape with a flared rim and tapered base. The glaze is a beautiful deep forest green with subtle mottling, typical of McCoy's mid-century production. Standing roughly 10-12 inches tall, this piece serves as a sophisticated accent for MCM or farmhouse decor.
Key Features
Highly collectible brand (McCoy), desirable green 'Cascade' or 'Jewel' tone glaze, iconic Art Deco/MCM silhouette, large scale suitable for floor or mantle display.
Authenticity Indicators
Likely features the 'McCoy USA' embossed mark on the bottom. The weight, glaze depth, and specific flared lip shape are consistent with 1940s-50s production. High confidence in era and maker.
Flaws to Note
Expected age-related crazing throughout the glaze. Potential for small 'flea bites' on the base rim or interior rim not visible in photos. Needs to be checked for mineral deposits if used for water/flowers.

Where to Sell
Etsy (best for vintage decor), eBay (best for established pottery collectors), or high-end antique malls with MCM booths.
