1980 Disneyland Snifter

Sold

Now here's a true vintage piece,  from the 25th anniversary of Disneyland in 1980.

An amazing party, it was one of the first times they kept the park open for a full 25 hours (and yes, I was there and got to spend the entire night in the park.  Sunrise in the hub is one of my fondest memories . . .)

Anyhow, this was sold in Arribas Brothers on Main Street.  Made of flash glass (glass which has two layers of color, in this case red and clear) it shows Mickey and Minnie celebrating the anniversary of Disneyland.  The tiny Walt Disney Productions you see in the photo is a clear plastic label that s affixed to the bottom.

The size of as regular brandy snifter, it stands seven and three quarters inches high and six inches at its widest point.  In perfect condition, no nicks, chips or cracks.

Asking $40 plus shipping and insurance.

1990 Disneyland 35th Anniversary Bisque

Sold

From the 35th anniversary of Disneyland, this was a time when they didn't make quite so much merchandise for each anniversary.  The bottom is marked copyright Disney Japan (remember when they still made fine porcelain in Japan?)

Created of unfired bisque, it shows Donald, barely viable behind Minnie, Mickey and Goofy looking out of one of the turrets of the Sleeping Beauty Castle.

Standing nine inches tall, it's also a music box that plays "When You Wish Upon a Star" (and has a slider so you can turn the music off and on).  The red banner across the front reads 1955-1990.  Goofy is attired in military regalia and is blowing a horn with a banner that shows the "Disneyland 35 Years of Magic" logo.

In perfect condition, I'm asking $50 plus shipping and insurance
