Lot 635: Very Large Antique Tiffany Leaded Glass Pendant Lampshade with Grapevine Decoration
A collection of ten miniature glazed ceramic animal figurines from Wade Ceramics and produced in the style of Wade Whimsies. These miniature figures were famously distributed as promotional items within Red Rose Tea packaging throughout the mid-to-late 20th century. The assortment includes a variety of domestic and wild animals: a calico cat carrying a kitten, a white rooster with a red comb on a green base, an owl, and four dogs including a recumbent German Shepherd-style dog, a seated Corgi-style dog, and a larger puppy. The collection also features three game birds or waterfowl, including a duck and two partridge or quail-style birds, alongside a small recumbent white animal. Each piece is finished with the characteristic translucent glaze associated with this manufacturer. No maker marks, model numbers, or decorator marks are visible.
