With its sculptural pedestal form, embossed rope motif, and calming aqua glaze, HERMES reflects the iconic charm of McCoy USA, one of America’s most celebrated ceramic makers. The mark beneath the piece — MOY USA — is a known mis-stamp variation of McCoy’s mid-century production, a small quirk that adds character to its history.
Originally crafted as an indoor planter or decorative center piece, Hermes was designed to bring softness and texture into the home. Its raised beadwork, flowing silhouette, and serene pastel glaze showcase McCoy’s signature blend of craftsmanship and approachable elegance.
Now reimagined as a hand-poured candle, Hermes glows from within, illuminating its sculpted patterns and enhancing the soothing aquatic tones of its glaze. The result is refined, sculptural, and quietly luminous.
Revived by House of Eugenie, HERMES becomes a modern heirloom — a tribute to American ceramic artistry, renewed through light.
Curated vintage vessels turned into refillable candles you’ll keep forever.
A collectible object. A timeless light.
