King of Hearts character jug prototype produced by Royal Doulton of Burslem, England, in 2000 for a proposed Alice in Wonderland Series. The King of Hearts is the meek and tiny husband of the temperamental Queen of Hearts from Disney's 1951 feature film Alice in Wonderland. The King of Hearts is the consort of the Queen of Hearts and is generally the lesser of the two monarchs. He is much smaller than his wife, as well as meeker. While he tries to please his wife, at the same time, he is one of the few people who is able to change her mind about anything, such as altering Alice's beheading to a trial instead. A deck of playing cards and plate of tarts form the handle of the jug.
