Artifact Overview

The Nelson McCoy Pottery Company, established in 1910 in Roseville, Ohio, began producing earthenware specialties and artware in the mid-1920s along with its stoneware lines. Its pottery appealed to a middle-class audience seeking the broadest popular taste. In 1960, McCoy introduced its El Rancho Bar-B-Q line. The line consisted of western-themed, large service pieces and tapped into the romanticism of the American West.
