1930's AWSUM DISNEY PORCELAIN CHINA TOY TEA & DINNER SET MINTY 25 PIECES
<p>WOW!!!!!!!!! Look at this very RARE 1930's Mickey & Minnie Mouse porcelain china Toy Tea & Dinner set. This was the FIRST china Tea Set made for Disney. I am selling this for a friend of mine who is now 80 years old. She received this as a gift when she was 7. She is the original owner. Her sister was throwing a baseball in the house, and broke one of the Minnie image cups. She abruptly packed the set away for the next 73 years, till she took it out for me to sell, this week. That cup is the only missing piece. The cup that is missing is of Minnie reading.There are 23 of the original 24 pieces in this set, if you don't count the lids. All the pieces are MINTY, no chips or cracks. The graphics aren't all of the highest quality, and some appear to be worn, but I believe that is just the quality of its age. The set consists of 6 different images on matching sets of a cup, saucer & a dinner plate. Three of the images are of Minnie, and three are of Mickey Mouse. You can see all the images in our pictures. There is a combo image of Minnie sitting at a table with flowers & Mickey walking with a tray in his hand, on the 2 pc.Tea Pot & on the bottom plate of the Vegetable dish. The actual vegetable dish itself has no graphics. The 2 pc. Sugar and Creamer have an image of Mickey walking with a tray in his hand. There is an image of Mickey with letters in his hand on the Gravy Boat. There were two different color patterns, of this set, Blue & yellow. This is the yellow set. There is no box. According to Ted Hake's "Disney Collectibles" 2nd Edition book, 9/2007, this set was made by the Geo. Borgfeldt Corp. The pattern on the set in the book, is the same, but the blue version, and it is only a 15 pc. set, where this one is a 24 pc. set, not counting lids. He values that set at $750. I have put a reasonable reserve on this set. Don't be shy with your bidding! You don't ever see an AWSUM complete set like this. I have been in the business 30+ years, and this is the 1st time I have ever seen a full set.This magnificent set will make an absolutely AWSUM addition to any DISNEY Collection.
