Doc has a wonderfully
painted and expressive face,
shows a few paint misses
or rubs, and little visible crazing.
Hagen Renaker produced
delightful miniature ceramics
under a one year exclusive
license with Walt Disney
Productions that was signed
on July 25, 1955, just 8 days
after Disneyland opened
its front gates.
Hagen Renaker continued
to renew their contract on
a yearly basis only
until 1961.
Walt Disney
himself personally
labeled the Hagen Renaker
ceramic representations of
his animated characters as
"the finest three dimensional
re-productions of Disney
character drawings
that he ever saw”.
The Snow White
in this Large
Hagen Renaker
Designer’s Workshop Set
was designed by
Don Winton
and each of the Dwarfs
were designed by
Nell Bortells.
The first Hagen Renaker Disney
miniature set ever sold at Disneyland
was created to promote the
1955 CinemaScope
Walt Disney Film
Lady and the Tramp.
These first canine
figures featured Lady, Tramp,
Jock, Trusty, Dachsie, Pedro, the
Siamese Cats, Si & Am and the Pups.
These petite, intricate & delicate creations
could be found on Disneyland’s Main Street
in the large turn of the century
Emporium Store, along with the China
Shop on Main Street, and at the
Art Corner in Tomorrowland.
In 1956 a separate division
devoted to larger ceramics
was created entitled
Designer's Workshop.
The department created larger figures,
cookie jars and banks generally
six inches or larger.
Figures featured Bambi, Jimmy Cricket,
Figaro, Dumbo, and Snow White.
Jars were created for Dumbo, Figaro
Thumper and Practical Pig.
Banks were representations of
Thumper, Dumbo, Figaro, and Lady.
Also in 1956, additional
miniature characters from
Alice in Wonderland, Bambi,
Cinderella, Dumbo, Bandleader Mickey,
Goofy, Pluto, Donald, Scrooge,
Chip & Dale and Donald’s Nephews
were introduced.
In 1957, Peter Pan and Fantasia
miniature figures were added.
1958 saw Snow White & her Seven Dwarfs
arrive and in 1959 the beautiful
Sleeping Beauty set
completed the ceramic line.
This Delightful
Designer's Workshop
Hagen Renaker
Snow White Dwarf
“DOC”
Is Now
65
Years Old!
Disney Hagen Renaker ceramics
were produced with the best possible
materials and quality control was evident.
The detail and expressions of each character
is precise. Their delicate nature contributed
heavily to their breakage once these
delightful Hagen Renaker characters
were taken home from Disneyland.
This Disneyland Hagen Renaker
Designer's Workshop Snow White is
definitely one considered to be quite rare.
Doc, in his standing position,
measures 3 3/4"” tall. Needless to say,
this wonderful Disney Character

or breaks on this piece. He has
an Almost Full
