Britains 1920s Hare Tiny Lead Woodland Animal Figure

A charming tiny 1920s Britains hare in hand painted lead, with warm brown colouring, black tipped ears and a lively sense of movement.

Measuring approximately 2.5 cm, this little hare has an appealingly energetic quality despite its small scale. The upright form and distinctive dark ear tips give it a recognisable character, while the warm brown finish has gently mellowed with age.

Made by Britains Ltd during the 1920s, this early countryside figure reflects the company’s skill in capturing familiar British wildlife in miniature. The hand painted finish retains plenty of its original character, with natural paint wear and light patina adding to its authentic aged appearance.

The hare brings another lovely woodland subject to the early Britains collection, sitting naturally alongside the tiny squirrel and rabbits. Together, these small wildlife figures offer a fascinating glimpse of the countryside subjects recreated by Britains during the early twentieth century.

A lively little piece of 1920s British wildlife modelling, with warm colouring, distinctive ears and plenty of countryside character.
