Caterpillar toby jug produced by Tony Wood Studio of Fenton, England, in a 1983 limited edition for Perennis and offered on a subscription basis. "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" is an 1865 English children's novel by Lewis Carroll. It details the story of a girl named Alice who falls through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world of anthropomorphic creatures. Introduced in Chapter Four and the main center of interest of Chapter V, the Caterpillar is a hookah-smoking caterpillar exactly 3 inches tall, a height, the virtues of which, he defends against Alice's complaint. Alice does not like the Caterpillar 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. This is one of sixteen toby jug in the Alice in Wonderland Series.
