Vintage McCoy pottery “Spirit of ’76” pitcher featuring a patriotic bald eagle with outstretched wings over crossed American flags. This handled ceramic pitcher is finished in McCoy’s classic brown and cream glaze with a pronounced pouring spout and sturdy handle. The interior is marked with museum reference text for the “Carved Wooden Eagle” from the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., consistent with McCoy’s Bicentennial-era patriotic line. Measures approximately 7 inches tall and about 6 inches across. Condition is very good with no cracks or chips observed, showing only light surface wear consistent with age and display.
