Know before you buy
This is a genuine McCoy Pottery piece, authentic to the brand's history and craftsmanship.
To preserve the finish and integrity of the vintage pottery, hand wash the jar with mild soap and water. Avoid using a dishwasher, as the heat and harsh detergents can damage the glaze or cause the material to crack.
Like most vintage pottery jars, this piece features a standard lid that sits securely on the base but is not airtight. It is best used for short-term storage or as a decorative display item.
As a vintage item, you may notice minor crazing—fine lines in the glaze—or slight variations in the paint application. These characteristics are typical of authentic McCoy pottery and contribute to its unique, aged aesthetic.
While the jar is made of durable pottery, vintage glazes may not meet modern food-safety standards. We recommend using a food-safe liner or bag if you plan to store unwrapped treats inside.
