Disney Melamine Tropical Character Plate

This is a circular children's plate featuring various licensed Disney characters set against a vibrant tropical theme. The plate is constructed from melamine, a durable and shatter-resistant plastic-like material commonly used for casual dinnerware. The primary background color is a bright lime green, adorned with subtle darker green leaf patterns and illustrative motifs including yellow citrus slices (lemons/pineapples), white flowers, and citrus wedges. The center of the plate features Nemo from Finding Nemo, while the rim is decorated with Mickey Mouse, Tinker Bell, Stitch, and Ariel the Little Mermaid. The characters are rendered in a modern, stylized cartoon aesthetic. Physically, the plate appears to be approximately 8 to 9 inches in diameter with a standard raised rim. The surface shows some light reflective glare, suggesting a glossy finish. Regarding condition, there are minor visible surface scratches and 'utensil marks' consistent with regular household use, particularly in the center well area. There are no obvious cracks or large chips visible in the photograph, though the edge shows slight thinning of the decorative decal typical of mass-produced melamine. This item likely dates from the early to mid-2000s, reflecting Disney's cross-franchise branding strategy during that era. It is a functional piece of licensed character merchandise intended for daily domestic use.
