Mid-Century McCoy Ceramic Pottery Planter

This is a rectangular ceramic pottery planter, appearing to be a mid-century piece characteristic of McCoy Pottery or similar American art pottery manufacturers. The base is constructed from a creamy-white earthenware clay body, featuring a shallow inset unglazed foot rim. The exterior displays a multi-toned green and white glaze application with possible pinkish undertones seen at the very edge, suggesting a floral or leaf-motif decorative theme common for planters of the 1940s-1950s. The most significant feature is the hand-incised mold or model number '4555' (or similar digit configuration) visible on the underside. The glaze work shows characteristic mid-century thick, drip-style application. Condition-wise, there is visible shelf wear on the raised edges, minor firing flaws in the form of small pockmarks or 'pinholes' in the glaze, and localized discoloration or staining on the unglazed portions of the bottom. No major cracks or structural repairs are immediately visible in this view, though some minor kiln stilt marks or manufacturing irregularities are present. The item likely dates to the post-war era of mass-produced decorative home accessories, known for its kitsch and functional aesthetic. The craftsmanship is industrial-grade but displays the charm of hand-finished molds and manually applied glazes.
