The American Pottery Company was owned by Evan K. Shaw and appears to have started in 1939 or 40. In 1942, they obtained a license from Disney to produce Disney ceramic figures. Fire destroyed the company in 1946. At this point, Shaw purchased Metlox Potteries in Manhattan Beach in 1946 or 47. They continued to produce Disney items until 1956. When Metlox Potteries went out of business in 1989, many unpainted, unglazed Disney bisque figures were discovered in their inventories. Some of these figures never saw full production. We believe all the white, unpainted bisque figures out there in collectors hands came from this discovery. These never-finished bisques are exceptional as they really show off the mold detail well.

Due to her delicate nature, Tinker Bell was a two part mold - where they'd produce the wings separate from her body.
