This gorgeous & quirky blue & orange goblet is from Jo's Alice In Wonderland Collection.
The goblets are made with a glass paste and then cooked in the kiln - it is called the pate de verde method.
Literature has always been useful for expressing humanistic and social values - it is a reflection of society at the time. It can explain both its good ethics and its troubles - either showing the positive values in society for people to imitate, or reflecting the worst of culture with the aim of making it better.
Lewis Caroll’s “Alice in Wonderland” provides us with a peep into the childhood, gender and class of Victorian society through the lens of a girl’s adventures in an imaginary Wonderland.
The Mad Hatter Goblet
The Mad Hatter is one of the members of the Mad Tea Party. He is often very rude and enjoys provoking Alice at regular intervals!
The phrase ‘mad as a hatter’ was common in Carroll’s time and probably owes its origin to the fact that hatters actually did go mad, because the mercury they used in the creation of their hats sometimes gave them mercury poisoning.
