***** NOVEMBER 24TH****** is the Final Day for 'Made to Order' purchases
with Christmas delivery Nationwide. I strongly encourage ordering early
as this is the season of the deluge and there is only one me. Creation
times are at the Maximum of around 3 weeks due to the volume and if i
reach capacity i may have to close down early. Also its always best to
have time to make each set as beautiful as I can.
I will reopen just before Christmas for regular orders and, if there is any extra stock left, last minute gifts.
Feel free if you have any questions i can help with :) Cheers Leah
*************************************************************************************************** This is another exquisitely detailed set based on "Alice's Adventures in
Wonderland" by Lewis Carol. Like the Alice through the Looking Glass
Chess set,the depiction of the pieces are closely based on the superb
illustrations by John Tenniel's as seen in the first edition although
there is a slight Disney flavor to these ones as well. Unlike the
other set it is Reversal as opposed to Adversarial meaning the same
pieces for both sides in contrasting or complimentary colours. You can
get the set in any colours that you like, here i have played around with
the idea of Dark Alice V Classic or Light Alice. You can also choose to have it with or without accent touches or you choice of accent colours.

The set is Made to order takes 2 weeks from casting to
completion please bear the time-frame in mind when ordering, of course
if I have the colours you like in stock it can be readied and shipped
very swiftly :)
This listing includes the pieces only the boards are just too heavy to feasibly send.
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 - White King Queen - Alice Bishop - Mad Hatter Knight - White knight Castle (Rook) - Tweedledee/Tweedledum Pawn - White Rabbit
Choose the colours you would like for each opposing side and
specify in "message to seller". 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.
