Disney 30th Anniversary Appraisal

Disney's 30th Anniversary Alice in Wonderland Commemorative Collector Plate (1951-1981)

This is a circular ceramic collector plate, approximately 8 to 10 inches in diameter, crafted from white porcelain or fine china. The plate features a high-gloss glaze and a multi-colored transfer-print illustration depicting iconic characters from Walt Disney's 1951 animated feature 'Alice in Wonderland'. The scene includes Alice, the Mad Hatter, the White Rabbit holding his gold pocket watch, and the Cheshire Cat lounging in a tree. The artwork is framed by a thin orange double-border. Below the central illustration, the text '1951 - ALICE IN WONDERLAND - 1981' is printed in orange, signaling it as a 30th-anniversary commemorative piece. Small text to the right of the illustration bears the '© Walt Disney Productions' copyright mark. The colors are vibrant, featuring Alice's signature blue dress, the Mad Hatter’s orange top hat, and the Cheshire Cat’s pink and purple stripes. The plate appears to be in excellent vintage condition with no visible chips, cracks, or heavy crazing in the glaze, though slight shelf wear on the bottom rim is typical for an item of this age. This piece represents a high-quality example of licensed Disney memorabilia from the early 1980s, designed for display rather than functional use.
