Large, mint green, McCoy jardiniere is in great shape, no cracks or chips. 10.5" x 8.5" " One well-known example of a McCoy pottery piece, shown here, that has been produced for many years is the Number 38 jardiniere. This jardiniere with its diamond-shaped pattern was first introduced in 1951 and it came in two sizes and two colors. The sizes were 8½ inches and 10½ inches wide, and the colors were green and white. Production of the jardiniere continued after the McCoy pottery became a subsidiary of the Mt. Clemens Pottery in 1967, but in that year the colors were changed to a mint green, and a stoneware white. Subsequently in 1968, it was decided that the design should again be reproduced, but instead of mint green or stoneware white, the colors were either silver or gold. These silver or gold pieces were part of the Antiqua Line and the jardinieres were made in these two colors until 1970. Then in 1971, another green color, a so-called jardiniere green, along with a matte white were introduced. In 1974, when the pottery came under the auspices of the Lancaster Colony Corporation, the jardiniere green and matte white colors were continued but the company initials, "LCC" were added to the McCoy mark. The jardiniere green and the matte white colors were used until 1981."
