As rare and desirable as the Mickey Mouse Rosenthal figurines are, this is by far the rarest and most sought after Mickey Rosenthal item. Produced as a 16-piece, six-serving set, this lot is missing just one teacup, a saucer 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 the creamer, three on the sugar, cups and saucers and seven on the teapot. There are a total of four different images, two depicting Mickey standing, 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. Teapot lid has original foil label w/German text that translates to "Mickey Mouse Brings Luck To Your House." Label is slightly worn and faded. Teapot has 1/8" chip to inside rim which is not visible w/lid in place. Set is o/w Exc./NM. Very rare.
