Around 1950,
Evan K. Shaw released two beautiful
ceramic sets and included them in a select
retail promotion called,
“Walt Disney’s
World Of Enchantment
In Ceramics.”
The Alice In Wonderland set featured
Alice, the Mad Hatter, March Hare,
White Rabbit, Walrus, Dormouse,
along with Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum.
Since each ceramic piece was individually
hand painted, each piece displays unique
features and expressions.
This 3 1/2
”
tall White Rabbit has
no cracks or breaks but a few rough areas.
There is a glaze chip on the edge of the
White Rabbits blue collar and a couple
along the edges of white bib in the back.
There is also a 1/16” glaze chip on the
rim of the yellow bugle in the back.
Each of these are difficult to see
except upon close inspection.
There is also slight red paint loss
on both red hearts on his bib.
There is very little visible crazing.
His facial features and eyes are in character
with his White Rabbit personality.
He no longer has an original Evan K. Shaw label.
This difficult to find White Rabbit is now almost
70
YEARS OLD!
American Pottery was founded by Evan K. Shaw
who was a former Vernon Kilns employee.
During the period of 1943 through 1955,
Evan K. Shaw created the largest ceramics
outfit in the Los Angeles area under many
different Company names and Disney Licenses
including Metlox & The American Pottery Company.
Evan K. Shaw's American Pottery signed its
first contract with Disney on February 4, 1943.
Shaw/American Pottery figures are known
for their details, expressions and quality.
Shaw/American Pottery had their own Mold Makers.
The Disney Studios would provide model sheets
to be followed for each design.
Once Shaw/American Pottery came up with
a new concept, it would have to be approved
by the Disney Studio artists and the
Disney licensing division before any
production could begin.
