A sweet tiny 1920s Britains calf in hand painted hollow cast lead, with soft cream and brown colouring and a gentle standing pose that captures the quiet character of an early farmyard miniature.
Made by Britains Ltd as part of its early farm series, this little calf measures just 3 cm long. Its simple modelling and carefully painted colouring give it an appealing sense of realism despite its diminutive size.
The cream and brown finish has naturally mellowed with age, creating an authentic vintage surface while the figure remains structurally sound. Its small scale makes it particularly charming alongside larger farm animals, horses and figures from the period.
Dating from the 1920s, this calf comes from the formative years of Britains farm figure production, when familiar countryside animals were recreated in miniature with remarkable simplicity and character.
A tiny and beautifully understated farmyard figure with all the charm of early Britains toy making.
