Description: Hand-painted 1960's cup and saucer set for Marineland of the Pacific. The cup has the phrase "A Whale of a Show" with a whale below. The saucer depicts another whale, with the original amphitheater. Marineland of the Pacific was a public oceanarium and tourist attraction located on the Palos Verdes Peninsula coast in Los Angeles County, California. It was also known as Hanna-Barbera 's Marineland during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Marineland operated from 1954 until 1987, when it was purchased by the owners of SeaWorld San Diego. The new owners moved the popular killer whales and other animals to their San Diego facility and abruptly closed Marineland.Condition: Excellent giftable condition. No crazing or discoloration. No chips, flakes, breaks, mends, repairs, cracks, hairlines, blemishes, or mentionable boo-boo's.Dimensions: Saucer is 4.5" in Diameter. Cup has top diameter of 2-5/8". Base is 1.25" square. Handle extends width by 5/8".Unpacked weight: 4 oz. Always happy to pass through discounts on combined shipping. Please ask me for specific quote if you feel shipping cost is too high. On certain large / heavy packages, I see EBAY's calculator grossly overcalculates actual shipping costs. Please note I usually provide at least 2, if not usually 4, shipping options. Please check to validate which option is best for you. I only charge actual postage, and always use recycled packing materials. Note some photos appear redundant because I take photos from all possible angles. On symmetrical items, these photos may appear redundant when there are no distinguishing differences or condition issues between side views. I gladly accept returns, but please note I do not pay return postage unless there was a significant error in my description. The item listed is being sold as is, as pictured and as described to the best of my knowledge. All dimensions and weights approximate. If you have a question or an assumption on an item prior to purchase, please ask. I much prefer to take the time on the front end to make sure you will be satisfied with your purchase. Remember, when buying vintage expect imperfections as these items have a history and have been in the possession of others. I try to list EVERY flaw which would be commented on something in an antique or vintage condition – this does not mean all imperfections resulting from normal wear & use require comment. My goal is to have no rude surprises upon receipt.
