(Masse Freres, 1938/39) An incredible set of French ceramic “Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs” large figures. Manufactured using the Faience technique of earthenware and colored glazes in Desvres, France by Masse Freres, these amazing figures are some of the best we have ever seen. The Desvres region of France is known for its Faience and it is considered some of the highest quality in Europe. The Dwarfs measure between 21" and 23" tall. Each one has his French name in relief on his back. Snow White measures an amazing 31" tall. All have a maker mark as well as a Walt Disney copyright underneath. All eight figures are in fine condition with light wear and the original glazing still bright. These were only made for the European market and because of their size, might have been intended as lawn ornaments. This is one of only two intact sets we have ever seen. Because of size and weight, special shipping arrangements may be necessary. Please inquire before bidding.
