Various Wade Whimsicals - small porcelain critters from a British company. I've referred to a Charlton Guide on the Wades, but I could be completely wrong in my descriptions as I'm not familiar with these at all. From going through the book it looks like some of these pieces were released in different sets at different times, but I'm not sure about some of their color descriptions (like on the tiger). All are mint.

| Circus Pony/Horse, beige, reissue for Red Rose Tea, from the circus set, 1978-1979, 1 x 1¾ $3.00 | |

| Shire Horse, white with grey mane/tail. I believe this is the illegal copy of the original from the Farm Animals set 10 1959 - 1961. There is much overspray on both the mane and the tail, as well as a rough spot/white mark along the inside of the right flank area - almost like the glaze didn't apply in that area. Does anyone have photos of the original or a link to one? Thanks! 2 x 2 | |
