Lovely little ceramic souvenir trinket dish or ashtray from "Marineland of the Pacific".
It features "Bubbles" the whale on one side (see history below).
Circa 1954 - 1987.
Made of glazed ceramic with colorful airbrushing.
Measures 4 5/8" in diameter.
CONDITION: Excellent preowned condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs. It does have light clean crazing which does not detract. Two very small glaze chips on the outer rim in front of the whale which, again, do not detract.
*Bubbles was a female pilot whale who became the star attraction of Marineland of the Pacific after its opening in 1954. When Marineland closed in 1987, Bubbles was moved to SeaWorld in San Diego.
