GIVE AN ALICE IN WONDERLAND TEA PARTY
193316075Cincinnatti Ohio: The Richardson Company 1933. Very good. Complete plastic tea set made of "play-proof" Richelain a material similar to Bakelite but characteristically lighter weight. Full synthetic plastics were an innovation of the early 20th century first with Bakelite but soon with many imitators and formulas entering the field. Richelain was one such brand made of thermoset plastic that was lighter then Bakelite. Its composition also meant it was more brittle than Bakelite and often does not survive as well. This is a beautifully intact set of a rare Alice item. 10.75'' x 15.5'' x 2.75''. Set of 15 individual blue Richelain pieces in original box: four large plates four smaller plates four tea cups and three containers for condiments with an icon of Alice on the side the largest with a lid. Pieces set in original paper organizer with printed labels. With Alice-themed lyric on table manners by Dixie Willson printed on verso of box lid. Joints of box repaired and reinforced; some loss to Alice images on containers; a bit of soil here and there. The Richardson Company unknown
