Description

The V&A Alice in Wonderland set includes a 100 ml espresso cup and saucer in fine china, decorated with black and white illustrations of Alice, the Hatter and the White Rabbit, in a gift box with ribbon.

The designs are inspired by an Alice in Wonderland card game based on artwork by Sir John Tenniel, with pocket watches, cake stands and top hats, while gold details add an elegant touch. The White Rabbit's line “Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!” decorates the cup, and under the cup, in the centre of the saucer, the message “We're all mad here” is hidden. A lovely gift for coffee lovers and fans of Lewis Carroll's story.
