We are pleased to present The Mad Hatter - one of the most eagerly awaited characters in the R. John Wright ALICE IN WONDERLAND COLLECTION based on the immortal books written by Lewis Carroll and illustrated by Sir John Tenniel. Authentically based on Tenniel's classic illustrations, The Mad Hatter stands approximately 16" tall without his top hat. He is fully jointed and constructed of the finest all wool felt with an amazing molded character head with intaglio eyes and hand painted features, a wig made of the finest custom mohair, and felt hands with individual fingers.

Collectors of STEIFF and R. JOHN WRIGHT will have a special treat in store this year with the production of an important series designed in conjunction with both companies: THE STEIFF KINDER.

As many collectors know, the products of the legendary Steiff company provided the earliest inspiration for R. John Wright creations. Now, 25 years after the first R. John Wright children dolls appeared, the story has come full circle with an exciting new collection of Steiff children dolls combining the best of the old and the new!

The Premiere Series will consist of the four children dolls shown above. Measuring approximately 17" tall, fully jointed and made entirely of felt, the dolls feature molded faces sculpted by R. John Wright to evoke the early child dolls produced by the Margarete Steiff Toy Factory in the early 1900's. With hand painted features, inset glass eyes, and mohair wigs, and individually sewn fingers, the dolls are dressed in detailed clothing and accessories made of the finest materials in designs reflective of their German heritage.

In 1976, R John Wright made his first doll .... the rest is now history.  He has been honored with many awards, but most importantly, he has won the hearts of collectors from all over the world.
