Item description:

This lot offers an early to mid-20th century Japanese porcelain child’s tea set, featuring hand-painted images of beloved Walt Disney characters including Mickey Mouse and the Three Little Pigs. The set includes two divided plates (approximately 5 inches in diameter), saucers, a sugar bowl with lid, a creamer, a mini pitcher, and a teacup. The plates and serving pieces are decorated with vibrant orange and black details, each piece marked ‘Made in Japan’ on the underside, indicating export during the pre-World War II or immediate post-war period when Japanese ceramics were widely distributed. The delightful artwork captures classic scenes, making this set an appealing collectible for both Disneyana and vintage Japanese porcelain enthusiasts. Minor evidence of age-related wear is present. This is an increasingly rare and sought-after ensemble of early licensed character ware.
