First Look

 

Approximately 3'' Tea Cup resin ornaments representing some the main characters in Disney's Alice in Wonderland (1951). Alice, the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, and the Red Queen are depicted on separate ornaments in this collection. On the reverse of the ornaments are the White Rabbit, Pencil Birds, the Dormouse, and Card Soldiers, respectively.

 

I have received three of the four ornaments in this collection. At the time I ordered them, they were on special for 25% off, but the Cheshire Cat was not in stock. I will probably get that one from Disneyland.

 

They are solid resin, so are very heavy for ornaments. Alice weighs 7 oz, Mad Hatter 8 oz, and Red Queen is 4 oz. They are not very practical to hang from a tree, but all have perfectly flat bases, are perfectly suited to sit on any flat surface. As befits their characters, the width of their bases plus their overall design makes the Alice cup very stable, the Red Queen fairly stable, and the Mad Hatter not very stable at all, since it has a small base is top heavy with three cups stacked on each other.

 

The artwork are appliques that are glued to the resin pieces, then a clear glaze finish is painted over that. When I looked at them closely, I was a little disappointed in the workmanship of the cups, in particular the Alice and Red Queen ones. The Mad Hatter one is very well done, with a very smooth shiny surface, with all the designs sharp and bright, and no glaring discontinuities or imperfections. The Alice and Red Queen ornaments are not as smooth or shiny, and there are obvious discontinuities in the patterns of the insides of the cups. There is also a large scuff mark on one of the panels of the Red Queen. However, overall I like these ornaments very much. The Alice ornament in particular has very beautiful artwork of Alice, Dinah and the White Rabbit. I've had really good luck ordering ornaments online from the Disney Store in the past, but in this case, I think I should be gotten them from Disneyland, where I could pick out the best ones from the rack.
