Snow White "Classics" Kitchenware Series (Treasure Craft)

The Snow White cookie jar and Seven Dwarfs kitchenware seen in the previous two posts were produced by Treasure Craft when it was owned by the Pfaltzgraff Company. The pieces were manufactured in multiple locations--USA, Mexico, and China. In 1998-1999, Treasure Craft changed ownership, at which time all of the figures were then made exclusively in China. The "Disney Classics" series below dates from circa 1999.

The figures include two sets of salt and pepper shakers--the Witch & Poison Apple and Doc & Bashful. Plus there was a Grumpy candy tray, Happy treat jar, Snow White & Dopey cookie jar, Evil Queen cookie jar, and a Snow White teapot with Sleepy & Bashful. Hand painted glazed ceramic. Each sold separately.
