A charming 1920s Britains goose in hand painted hollow cast lead, with a cream body, yellow beak, orange feet and its original green stand.
Measuring 4 cm long, this little goose has a lovely presence despite its small scale. The combination of soft cream colouring and brighter yellow and orange painted details gives the figure a particularly appealing appearance, while the green stand completes the original miniature presentation.
Made by Britains Ltd during the 1920s, this early farm figure reflects the company’s tradition of recreating familiar countryside animals in carefully modelled lead. The original painted details have naturally softened with age, giving the goose an authentic patina while retaining plenty of its original character.
The standing pose and original base make this a particularly pleasing example of early Britains farm birds. It would also pair beautifully with other poultry and farm animals from the same period, creating a wonderfully detailed glimpse of British rural life in miniature.
A lovely 1920s farm bird with cheerful painted detail, an original green stand and plenty of early Britains character.
