Wade Whimsies vintage ceramic figurine. This is the Male Rhinoceros, tan colored with his head up, marked "Wade England" on the base. Size: about 1.5 inches. Pre-owned in excellent condition (no chips or cracks etc). Each figurine is glazed ceramic manufactured in England by Wade. Wade Pottery was started in England in the 1950's by George Wade, and are known for making a wide assortment of figurines, mostly little animals but also some people and other figures. These figurines were included in boxes of tea, and I even remember them in chocolate easter eggs as a little girl growing up in England.
