Item Description
As rare and desirable as the Mickey Rosenthal figurines are, this is by far the rarest and most sought after Mickey Mouse piece produced by Rosenthal. Produced as a 16-piece, six serving set, this lot is missing just one teacup and the serving tray. Lot includes 3" tall teapot w/lid, 1.5" tall sugar w/lid and open creamer, five 1" tall teacups and six 2.75" dia. saucers. Every piece has "Rosenthal - Bavaria" mark on underside. c. 1932. Classic Mickey images appear on every piece, two on creamer, three on sugar, cups and saucers and seven on teapot. There are a total of four different images, two depicting Mickey in standing pose, two more expressive images of him walking and scratching his head and in pose as if taken aback. Each piece is beautifully detailed w/gold luster accents. Inner rim edge of teapot has rough edge on 50% of the rim due to production flaw, but this is as made and is not visible when lid is in place, and in no way affects its appearance for display. Some of the images have tiniest trace of wear but overall set remains choice, Exc./NM condition. Individual pieces are rare and we have only offered a few sets in our 51 years. This the actual example shown in the "Official Price Guide To Disney Collectibles" By Ted Hake.
