1971-1986 Open Edition

Description

Released during the years 1971 through 1986 as an open edition, this charming mini ceramic head profile features Pluto with his characteristic red tongue hanging out, wide open black and white eyes, and a yellow collar accented with black details. While the original design shows him facing left but looking right, each pin is hand-painted on individual pieces of ceramic which may vary slightly in height depending on the specific casting used, though they all maintain the iconic light orange-brown face with expressive features. The piece includes glued-on post backs and displays an official Disney production stamp reading "© WALT DISNEY PROD." on the reverse side as part of a larger collection where similar profiles were licensed for retail stores such as Bloomingdale's and Macy's, alongside international markets like Japan. Originally crafted by Roz Simon and Wendy Niven at Flights of Fancy—a West Coast ceramic jewelry company active in the late '60s and early '70s—the series was renowned for transforming everyday items into colorful enamel treasures, a legacy that continues through this particular tribute to the beloved Pluto character.
