Up for your consideration this set of hand painted Alice in Wonderland Series Collectible Thimbles by Harmer Sculptures in excellent condition - no cracks or chips. Alice in Wonderland series set made in Staffordshire, England and are of bone china. They tend to be quite tall, with the Carpenter being 45 mm the chief characters seem to be covered with this set of 12. These thimbles were only made in 1980 since Mr. Harmer died.

Set includes:
  • Alice holding DRINK ME bottle. "There seemed to be no use in waiting by the little door, so she went back to the table, half hoping she might find another key on it, or at any rate a book of rules for shutting people up like telescopes: this time she found a little bottle on it, (“which certainly was not here before,” said Alice,) and tied round the neck of the bottle was a paper label with the words “ DRINK ME” beautifully printed on it in large letters."
  • The Queen of Hearts - The ruler of Wonderland. The Queen is severe and domineering, continually screaming for her subjects to be beheaded.
  • The King of Hearts - The co-ruler of Wonderland. The King is ineffectual and generally unlikeable, but lacks the Queen’s ruthlessness and undoes her orders of execution.
  • The Caterpillar - A Wonderland creature. The Caterpillar sits on a mushroom, smokes a hookah, and treats Alice with contempt. He directs Alice to the magic mushroom that allows her to shrink and grow.
  • The Dormouse - The Dormouse sits in the teapot and drifts in and out of sleep.
  • The Playing Cards - They are loyal servants as well as guards for The Queen of Hearts.
  • The Walrus - The Walrus and the Carpenter are minor characters in Disney's 1951 animated feature film Alice in Wonderland. They are two jobless travelers whose story was told to Alice by Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum.

Please note: These thimbles are for decorative and not for sewing purposes.

I found no significant condition issues with these thimbles, but signs of previous use and ownership should be expected consistent with its vintage timeline and should be taken into consideration with age and ownership.

Please note: I will accept any reasonable offer.

Please check out all of the pictures and thank you for watching.
