I'm trying to find out if red (as opposed to black) Chess pieces are ever used.

Are some sets made in red and white, or is Lewis Carrol's red Queen a figment of his imagination.

Any light you can throw on this would be much appreciated.

In the Gareth Williams book "Master Pieces" -The Architecture of Chess, there are several Chess sets pictures depicting black pieces as "red pieces".

The following picture shows a Chess set featuring red pieces:
