Early 2 Piece Set of Three Little Pigs Patriot China made for Walt Disney Enterprises in 1935!
Disney’s Three Little Pigs was undoubtedly the most financially successful of the Silly Symphony series of cartoon shorts. It earned four times the box office gross of a regular Disney cartoon and... won the Academy Award for Best Cartoon in 1933. Disney contracted with the Schumann China Co. to sell juvenile chinaware imported from Bavaria from 1932 through 1934. In 1935, however, Hitler banned the manufacture of Mickey Mouse merchandise and the showing of his films in Germany. The Salem China Company took over the license in 1935 for Walt Disney Enterprises and produced "Patriot China” until 1939.
This Set of Patriot China Three Little Pigs Chinaware is now about85 Years Old!
Each of these pieces show normal signs of wear and age. The character paintings on the 3 pieces remain bright and vivid. As you review the photographs for this listing you will see crazing which is normal for china pieces of this age. The piece that has a significant blemish is the Three Little Pigs mug. As you can see in picture there is a chip on the rim of the mug. It is quite visible as you look at the top of the mug. There are no other significant chips, cracks or breaks on these neat vintage pieces. The Three Little Pigs Bowl measures 6” in diameter. The Who’s Afraid Of The Big Bad Wolf Mug stands 3” tall and 3” in diameter.
