Vintage Alice in Wonderland Hookah Caterpillar Coaster
Vintage illustration Victorian black and white fairy tales story image by Sir John Tenniel in Lewis Carroll's book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, 1865. Alice with the Hookah Smoking Caterpillar sitting on a magic mushroom cap.
Alice is portrayed as a quaintly logical girl, sometimes even pedantic. She is seven years old but acts much older.
In this image the Caterpillar is noted for its ambiguous central figure, whose head can be viewed as being a human male's face with pointed nose and protruding chin or being the head end of an actual caterpillar, with two "true" legs visible. Alice does not like the Catepillar when they first meet, because he does not immediately talk to her and when he does, it is usually in short, rather rude sentences, or difficult questions. He asks Alice to repeat the poem You Are Old, Father William, which comes out rather strange like many of the nursery rhymes Alice attempts in Wonderland. The Caterpiller tells Alice how to grow and shrink using the mushroom upon which he is sitting.

Hard Plastic coasters with cork back - set of 6
The coasters turned out much better then I had expected. I have not used them yet, but the quality seems very good. I recommend this product. . The printing was vivid and colourful, and almost jumped out at me, so very happy. I will be ordering more as gifts

Order was received in a timely fashion, and securely packaged. Upon opening, I found each coaster, which as designed to my liking, to be colorful, durable and perfect for my Sunday Brunch with my Sistah-Gals! The coasters matched our tie-dye theme to a T... Matched with our wine glasses and table settings... Great parting gift for the evening!
Definitely, would order again... If not coasters, preferably another customized souvenir...
This is an item that I'd recommend for any special occasion or event. A memorable parting souvenir, after a spectacular time with family, friends or co-workers. Happily satisfied with the overall coaster: Bright Vibrant Colors; Accurate print & fonts as chosen; Sturdy material, which will last for a long time; Easy to clean with a wipe or two (don't intend on washing the bottom, which is cork)...

Vivid colors look great but any dampness at all makes them stick to glass then fall off when you least expect it. Look cheap. Great! Very bright ( don't match dull throw pillows ordered at same time)
