McCoy Mugs
I think a classic example of vintage McCoy pottery is, of course, the brown McCoy mug, or drip mug. The black american McCoy coffee cup is also a quitissential piece in any collection. Recently, the strawberry cups have become increasingly popular.
There are many McCoy mugs marked 6395, but most commonly this mark is on the Labrador tankards, coffee mugs, and occassionally the brown drip beer mug. Look on eBay for all the 6395 listings.
Mugs are popular collector items because they are small and can be displayed in various ways, either sitting on a shelf or hung from their handle. McCoy mugs come in a wide range of styles and sizes. You can find femininely decorated cups and sturdy oversized beer steins.
Even if you do not collect McCoy mugs or cups, you might find something that fits a theme that you appreciate. There are cowboy boot mugs, steins with dog images, and cups from certain places and commemorating special events. Maybe you know someone who loves strawberries. You might be surprised to find a strawberry motif vintage McCoy mug!
Whether you are a collector or not, you, or someone you know, might really enjoy sipping morning coffee or tea from an authentic McCoy mug. These mugs are larger than a regular cup and more fun to drink from when you know it`s a McCoy collectibleS!
