I remember these! We sold 2 different sets of Alice dishware at the Walt Disney Gallery, if I remember correctly. There was a setc that was more decorative, which included these shakers, a Mad Tea Party teapot shaped like the table with all of the characters, a small Cheshire Cat shaped creamer, and maybe more that I'm forgetting. And the second line of dishes were just round dishes with Alice characters in the center, perhaps a line of dialogue or two, and some floral patterns in the glazing. Actually come to think of it, it might have all been one line, since it all went together really well.
With essays by Brian Sibley on 'Mary Poppins', 'Alice in Wonderland', 'The Adventures of Ichabod & Mr Toad', 'The Sword in the Stone' and 'Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree'

I have some of the plates with lines of dialogue: Alice falling down the rabbit-hole, the Hatter and the talking Doorknob.
