Disney Hagen-Renaker Size Shaw
1950's Peter Pan Michael Miniature Metlox
Listing is for a Disney Hagen-Renaker Size Shaw 1950's Peter Pan Michael
Miniature Metlox.
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.
