Pink and cream markings and an original stand distinguish this piglet, just 2 cm long.
This original 1920s patched piglet was made by Britains Ltd in hand painted lead. Its tiny form sits on a stand, giving the animal a defined base despite its minute proportions. Areas of paint loss reveal the wear of its years.
The contrasting colouring offers something different within a group of farm miniatures. For anyone with a fondness for pigs or memories of childhood farm sets, it is a small detail with a personal pull.
Display it in a printer’s tray, a cabinet compartment or a miniature farm scene. A plain background helps the pink and cream patches remain visible, while grouping it with larger animals highlights its scale.
A tiny British farm figure with distinctive colouring and its original stand.
