Item Description
2.75" tall handled cup. Made in England, early 1930s. Cup features scene of Mickey Mouse walking w/shovel in hand as two baby birds follow him. This image is from the March 1930 daily strip story "Lost On A Desert Island" where Mickey hides in a vulture's nest and is later followed around by two babies. The strip's gag was that one of the babies thought Mickey's tail was a worm. Small "Walter E. Disney" name appears at lower right. Another image of the two babies appear on opposite side beside "Come On Boys! We'll Go And Dig Some Nice Worms For Dinner" text. Traditional Paragon accents appear on rim and underside has "Royal Paragon By Appointment - Made In England" company mark. Cup remains totally bright, clean and glossy. Exc. First we've seen of this image, however Paragon issued this image on other pieces in the series, see following lots #1830-1832. All Paragon china is highly sought after.
