Jack and Jill
Went up the hill,
To fetch a pail of water;
Jack fell down
And broke his crown,
And Jill came tumbling after.
We
are pleased to present the sixth piece in the charming series of
costumed mice based on the Olde Mother Goose nursery rhymes illustrated
by Kate Greenaway.
Jack & Jill each measure a diminutive 3"
tall. They are designed in mouse form of the finest mohair plush and
jointed at the neck and shoulders. Jack & Jill feature
realistic coloring, German glass eyes, inset whiskers, resin hands and
feet, and fine leather tails. Built-in metal stands provide effortless
display for this charming couple.
From the original English nursery rhyme of the same name, Jack & Jill are costumed in true Kate Greenaway fashion. Jill
wears an Empire-waist frock made of fine custom-dyed cotton batiste. On
her head she wears a tiny bonnet sewn of mini natural straw braid
trimmed with pink silk ribbon. Jack is outfitted in a custom-dyed
cotton smock of the period with authentic pleating at the front and
tiny buttons down the back. He is accessorized with a wool felt hat.
Between them, Jack & Jill hold a hand carved and hand painted
miniature wooden bucket as they start up the hill on their ill-fated
venture! This is the first paired set of mice ever offered by R. John
Wright.
Jack & Jill join previous, sold out issues in the Mother Goose Mice
Series. Limited to only 150 sets worldwide, each pair will come in a
deluxe RJW presentation box with the accompanying signed and numbered
certificate of authenticity and the forms for owner registration.
