Bidspirit auction | An Assortment of Wade England


An Assortment of Wade England Glazed Porcelain Animal Figurines - An assortment of miniature animal figurines crafted from glazed porcelain. This diverse menagerie includes a variety of species, such as a hippopotamus with an open mouth, several giraffes, exotic cats including tigers and leopards, a bison, a camel, a donkey, and a panda. Woodland and aquatic life are also represented, featuring squirrels, raccoons, a rabbit, a penguin, a parrot, and a seal. The figurines are finished in characteristic mottled or drip glazes in shades of brown, tan, grey, blue-grey, and green. The blue-grey figurine on the far left, possibly a seal or sea lion, bears an impressed mark on the underside. The mark is applied in relief and reads MADE IN ENGLAND. Due to the small scale and the arrangement of the items, individual model numbers or marks on the other figurines are not clearly legible; however, the group demonstrates a uniform style of manufacture and glaze application consistent with the marked piece.
