Lot 678: A Collection of Miniature Glazed Ceramic Animal Figurines in the Style of Wade Whimsies
Attributed to Wade Ceramics Ltd, this collection of miniature glazed ceramic animal figurines is in the style of the Whimsies range produced in England. The assortment features a variety of wild animals, including a prowling tiger on a naturalistic green base, a hippopotamus in a pale blue-grey glaze, and a seated giraffe with mottled patterning. The group also includes lions in different poses, bears, and several primates in various seated positions. Each piece is finished in the high-gloss, multi-toned glaze typical of mid-20th-century British miniatures. While no maker’s marks are visible in the photographs, these specific models correspond to known designs from the Wade Zooline and Wild Animal series.
