Up for sale is a rare, historic 1955–1956 Eleanore Welborn Art Productions Disneyland Souvenir Lace Plate featuring Sleeping Beauty Castle.
Eleanore Welborn was personally selected by Walt Disney to be the park’s first official ceramic supplier for opening year, making these early mid-century pieces highly prized by Disneyana and Imagineering collectors.
This gorgeous plate highlights the entrance to Fantasyland and features a beautifully detailed pierced open-work lattice border accented with metallic trim along the scalloped edge.

Display Ready: Features original pre-drilled hanging holes on the back foot rim for easy wire stringing and wall display.
⚠️ CONDITION & DAMAGE NOTES:
Lace Border: This plate has two chips on the outer edge of the delicate pierced lattice rim (one notable loss on the edge profile, visible from both the front and back).
Please inspect the close-up macro photos carefully to see the exact location and extent of the edge wear.
