This is an exquisitely detailed set based on "Alice Through the Looking Glass" by Lewis Carroll which is the second book after "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and has Chess as a driving focus throughout the storyline. The depiction of the pieces are closely based on the superb illustrations by John Tenniel's as seen in the first edition.

It is an adversarial set meaning there buying are two distinct sides with different characters. In this case it is Alice versus the Red Queen.
Pictured: 1st German silver V German Silver/Silver blend
2nd Antique Gold V German silver
3rd Tea-stained

The set is Made to order and takes around 4 weeks from casting to completion. it can be a wee bit swifter depending on timing and workload. Creation times can get longer in the busy season especially mid September on if you have a time crunch or a specific date just message and i can give you solid confirmation.

This listing includes All 32 pieces to make a full set of chessmen. Boards are not included,

I can do these a variety of finishes. With the technique of picking out Blue on pieces for one side and Red on the other you could have the entire set with one under colour or a different under colour for each side or choose not to have the blue and red elements at all.

Each piece is Cold-cast by hand using Tufstone a polymer modified gypsum cement, then painted, glazed and felt bottoms attached.
The set requires a board with at least a 1 1/4 inch squares,
The King is 3 5/8 inches tall the Pawns are 2 1/8 inches

King - Red King
Queen - Red Queen (with peeking Cheshire Cat)
Bishop - Mad Hatter
Knight - March Hare
Castle (Rook) - Dormouse (in Teapot)
Pawn - White Rabbit
King - White King
Queen - Alice
Bishop - Humpty-Dumpty
Knight- White Knight
Castle (Rook) - Tweedledum/Tweedledee
Pawn - All the Kings Men

If you don't see a colour you crave there feel free to ask i might be able to do it.

I make each piece as strong as possible these are essentially akin to a solid ceramic handled correctly they will last a lifetime but will break if dropped on a concrete floor for instance. The set is shipped with each piece individually bubble wrapped and laid on a bed of larger bubbles and packing peanuts.
Thank you for looking, feel free to message with any questions. :)
