A ceramic planter inspired by the popular Disney Studios character Minnie Mouse. Featuring Minnie pushing a baby bassinet, the figurine was produced in the 1940s by Evan K. Shaw Pottery. The figure has a sticker on the back reading "Walt Disney Productions, Tweedledum, Evan K. Shaw Co., Los Angeles". Measuring 3.5"x8.5" and 6.25" tall, the planter is in very good condition with some crazing and minor wear from age. Through the 1940s and 1950s, the Evan K. Shaw Pottery company and its sister companies, Metlox and American Pottery, produced a wide range of ceramics. In 1943, they were granted approval as a licensee to produce a range of Disney characters. These companies are no longer in business, and their highly desirable figurines are increasingly rare.
