Alice prototype character jug modeled by William K. Harper and produced by Royal Doulton of Burslem, England, in 1998 as part of a proposed Alice in Wonderland Collection. "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" is an 1865 English children's novel by Lewis Carroll. It details the story of a girl named Alice who falls through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world of anthropomorphic creatures. A child in the mid-Victorian era, the character originated in stories told by Carroll to entertain the Liddell sisters while rowing on the Isis with his friend Robinson Duckworth. Characterized by Carroll as "loving and gentle", "courteous to all", "trustful", and "wildly curious", Alice has been variously seen as clever, well-mannered, and skeptical of authority. A vial containing a potion labeled with a “DRINK ME” tag forms the handle of the jug.
