“Just Look At Those Eyes!”You are bidding on a darling 3” tall Gray Thumper in Excellent Condition! Thumper was created by Disney Legend Ollie Johnston and features a wonderful face with his youthful broad grin smile that exposes his one front tooth.
Since each piece was individually hand painted, they display unique features and expressions. This cute Thumper has his eyes open. This hand painted Thumper radiates the joy of youth and displays a partial Walt Disney Productions © Miniatures Label.
Thumper has no chips, cracks, breaks or rough spots along with little visible crazing. This small sized Thumper with his Eyes Open & a Partial Label is in Excellent Condition for being about 75 YEARS OLD!
Walt Disney’s Bambi was released in August of 1942 after being worked on for almost 5 years. Five of Walt’s “Nine Old Men”, Frank Thomas, Ollie Johnston, Marc Davis, Milt Kahl and Eric Larson were responsible for keeping the project going as the Disney Studios worked on Pinocchio, Fantasia & Dumbo.
The character of Thumper was primarily animated by Ollie Johnston who, along with Frank Thomas, unconsciously discovered the brilliant voicing for the part of Thumper in the very young, Peter Behn as they were visiting a friend’s house. Who can't forget Thumper repeating what his mother taught him, “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all!”
American Pottery was founded by Evan K. Shaw who was a former Vernon Kilns employee. During the period of 1943 through 1955, Evan K. Shaw created the largest ceramics outfit in the Los Angeles area under many different Company names and Disney Licenses including Metlox and The American Pottery Company. Evan K. Shaw's American Pottery signed its first contract with Disney on February 4, 1943.
Shaw/American Pottery figures are known for their details, expressions and quality. Shaw/American Pottery had their own Mold Makers. The Disney Studios would provide model sheets to be followed for each design. Once Shaw/American Pottery came up with a new concept, it would have to be approved by the Disney Studio artists and the Disney licensing division before any production could begin.
We are willing to work on the price for these items, therefore we have listed them as a BUY-IT-NOW item, and you also have the opportunity to MAKE-AN-OFFER!
We found this Evan K. Shaw/American Pottery Thumper in a garage storage container as we were going through the items that we have collected over the past 45 years! If you collect DISNEYANA, or if you love EARLY DISNEY CERAMICS, then this EVAN K. SHAW / AMERICAN POTTERY piece should be high on your wish list.
