Fairey Godmother toby jug produced by Weetman Giftware of Tunstall, England, circa 1955. This is one in a series of characters from the Disney film "Cinderella" (1950). The Fairy Godmother first appears after Cinderella's stepsisters tear her gown to shreds before Prince Charming's ball. She appears in the garden, and greatly transforms Cinderella's appearance for the ball with a magic spell. She transforms the mice into stallions, Bruno the dog into a footman, Major the horse into a coachman, a pumpkin into a white coach, and transforms her torn dress into a beautiful silvery-blue dress with comfortable glass slippers. Cinderella departs for the ball after the Fairy Godmother warns her that the spell will expire at the stroke of midnight. With her work done, she vanishes into thin air.
