Kathy Kale McCoy Brown Drip Bowls Set of 2 1960s

This is a set of 2 Kathy Kale Brown Drip pottery bowls from about the 1960s, small glazed bowls with deep brown interiors and cream drip glaze around the rims.

The rims feel smooth, with no visible chips or cracks. The photos show light age related surface wear, small glaze variations, and wear around the unglazed foot rings.

Both bowls are marked Kathy Kale USA with the circular logo, and the Kathy Kale line is attributed to Nelson McCoy Pottery. The cream glaze runs down into darker bands differently on each bowl, so the pair match without looking factory identical.
