1938 Brayton Laguna Snow White Figurines

In the spring of 1938, Brayton Laguna Pottery of Laguna Beach was the first southern California potter to be licensed to produce Disney character figurines. They were known for their bright unusual color designs and glazes like the turquoise-colored finish on Snow White's dress. She measures 11" tall, the dwarfs around 5.5"- 6". Forest animals were also manufactured, standing between 3.5" - 6.25" high.

Color and pattern variations.

Foil stickers with the Walt Disney Enterprise copyright were affixed to each figure.
