Through the Looking Glass
Second Lawton Collectors Guild Convention - 1995

Edition of 180 

Retail Price n/a

     Through the Looking Glass is dressed straight out of the Tenniel illustration. Wendy chose the Disney coloration for Alice; deep blue and bright white touched with pink to set off her blonde delicacy. Alice is 16" tall with porcelain head and hands on a thirteen-joint wooden body. The following souvenirs accompanied Alice at the 1995 Lawton Collectors Guild Convention:

·A porcelain-faced silk flower pin (attached to the name badge)
·A wooden hand mirror, engraved with the convention logo and date
·A bone china tea set, hand-painted with forget-me-nots by The Lawton Doll Company. The convention logo and date is fired onto the base of the teapot, creamer, sugar bowl w/lid, two cups and saucers.
·Alice's Pig Baby. Remember the Duchess' screaming baby in Alice in Wonderland? Alice took the baby to save it from the Duchess and to quiet its screams. As the screams turned to snorts and the snorts to grunts, Alice looked down to see that the baby had turned into a pig. "If you're going to turn into a pig, my dear," said Alice seriously, "I'll have nothing more to do with you. Mind, now!"
