The Raggedy Ann & Andy 1975 Christmas Plate Limited Edition

Red K Products presents: The Schmid Raggedy Ann & Andy 1975 Christmas Plate - A First Edition Holiday Classic!

Step back into the warmth of a 1970s Christmas with this pristine piece of Americana history. This is not just a plate; it is the First Edition in the celebrated Schmid Raggedy Ann Christmas series, a collection that captured the hearts of a generation. Released over 50 years ago, this collectible embodies the timeless charm of Johnny Gruelle’s beloved characters during the height of their Bicentennial-era revival.

The artwork, titled "Under the Mistletoe," captures a whimsical moment of holiday innocence. Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy are depicted leaning in for a mistletoe kiss, both hiding surprise gifts behind their backs. The vibrant reds and blues of their classic outfits pop against the bright white porcelain, framed by a festive holly wreath and the "Merry Christmas 1975" commemoration. As a genuine Schmid import, handcrafted in Japan, this plate represents the pinnacle of 1970s ceramic craftsmanship, featuring a high-gloss glaze and a shimmering gold rim that exudes vintage quality.
