Mickey and Minnie Mouse met filming the animation Steamboat Willie in 1929 and have been together ever since. Ninety-four years as a couple is some record and is testament to their long-term popularity as the most famous mice in the world.
It’s no wonder that among the wide range of Disney characters featured in J Style’s collection of Japanese designed tea wares and dinnerwares, Mickey and Minnie stand alone as the most popular and quickest to sell out whenever a new range drops.
By far the biggest sellers are J Style’s Mickey Tea for One and Minnie Tea for One tea sets. The tea sets include a teapot, infuser, teacup and lid that stack together into a cute and highly collectable tea set in the image of their namesakes.
Newer products gaining traction with younger fans are Mickey and Minnie ramen bowls. Of course, when they visit Tokyo Disneyland, Mickey and Minnie love to tuck into a big bowl of ramen noodles. Younger fans and serious collectors alike are loving the quirky ramen bowls with spoons shaped like Mickey and Minnie’s gloved paws.
Whenever a new range of Disney designs comes in from Japan, it is sure to include Mickey and Minnie. It could see a sleepy Mickey and Minnie napping on a mug handle, kissing on a set of pair mugs or popping up on another mug, tea set or bowl set. Approaching their 100th anniversary does not slow them down.
Wholesale prices for Mickey and Minnie designs start at $20 for single mugs through to $43 for a full tea set.
