The classic images of John Tenniel's "Alice in Wonderland" are reproduced by England's renown Minton Pottery in this limited edition of 1500. This plate is titled "The White Rabbit Plate", and is No. 0400 in the edition, whit the original box and Certificate of Authenticity. This edition comes in a collection of four different Tenniel images: " The Mock Turtle", "The Cheshire Cat", "The Mad Hatter's Tea Party", and this one - all produced and discontinued by 1998. Each set included 1500 pieces, and 20 years later, they are rarely up for sale. This plate came from an estate in No. CA, and the owner had 3 of the 4 plates in her collection. The coloring on the plates is stunning; they each look like a pen and ink watercolor. Tenniel was a well-known illustrator in London in the 1860's and did the iconic artwork by engraving on wood blocks. These reproductions are true to the original artwork from the book. A rare find!
