This is a complicated story, but in a nutshell, George S. Brush became general manager of the J.W. McCoy Pottery Company in 1909. He had previously worked for J.B. Owens Pottery, Globe Stoneware, The Crooksville (Ohio) Clay Products Company and his own Brush Pottery, which burned down in 1908.
As a result of a merger in 1911, J.W. McCoy Pottery Company became Brush-McCoy, and it grew into one of the largest manufacturers of pottery in the United States, with plants in both Zanesville and Roseville, Ohio. However, a fire in the Zanesville plant in 1918 forced a move of all company operations to Roseville.
When the McCoys withdrew from this arrangement in 1925, Brush continued in the old plant in Roseville as Brush Pottery until 1982, when the operation finally closed. Over the years, it made decorative items, kitchenwares, patio and garden wares, vases and cookie jars.
The products were sometimes marked with the name “Brush” and representations of artist’s brushes and/or artist’s palettes. The company made a variety of cookie jars that are now sought after by collectors who look for pieces in such shapes as Humpty Dumpty, Davy Crockett, Little Boy Blue, Raggedy Ann, Peter Pan, Hillbilly Frog (a popular collector’s item) and Little Red Riding Hood, among others.
The mark actually reads “K24 Brush USA,” and the Brush Pottery Company used it. This firm originated in 1925, when the McCoy family withdrew from the Brush-McCoy Pottery Company.
