This is a classic, hard to find, vintage Donald Duck pitcher manufactured in the United States by the Leeds China Co.back in 1949. It is 6¼" high, 4½" long and 4" wide. The Leeds China Co. was a manufacturer of ceramic items that was licensed to produce Disney merchandise from 1944 to 1954.
The mug is cleverly designed with Donald's upturned tail acting as a handle and a point on the top of his hat acting as a spout. There is plenty of fine detail, including huge gorgeous eyes, gold gilt trim along mouth, sleeves, bow, and suit buttons, black webbed feet, and airbrushed light blue paint around and directly below the rim.
It is in excellent condition, with very little wear to the painted features. There is a tiny fleabite on the rim of the pitcher (more like a tiny paint scrape) and a tight short hairline on the left side (10th & 11th photos - arrows point to beginning and end of hairline). These flaws do not detract from this great vintage piece. The pitcher is glossy and the paint is super bright and vivid.
It is clean and shiny, with no grease and dirt, and ready to be displayed or used.
The backside of the pitcher is embossed "Donald Duck Walt Disney U.S.A.".
Add this wonderful Leeds Donald Duck Walt Disney Pitcher to your collection. A great conversation piece and a wonderful decorative accent for your kitchen or dining room setting.
