Collection Overview
This is a charming collection of approximately 40 Wade whimsies, miniature ceramic animal figurines. These delightful pieces were produced by Wade Ceramics, a British pottery renowned for its playful and collectible designs. The collection features a diverse range of animals, including dogs, cats, pigs, owls, and more, each sculpted with endearing detail and glazed in a variety of colours. These whimsical figures were often given away as promotional items in bags of Walkers Crisps, adding to their nostalgic appeal.
Condition and Collectibility
The condition of the whimsies varies, with most displaying signs of age and wear consistent with vintage collectibles. Some pieces may exhibit minor chips, crazing, or fading of the glaze, which is typical for items of this age. Despite these minor imperfections, the collection remains a highly desirable item for Wade collectors and enthusiasts of vintage pottery. The variety and charming nature of these whimsies make them a delightful addition to any collection or display.
