Britains 1920s Pink Pig Lead Farm Figure

A charming 1920s Britains pig in hand painted lead, with a glossy pink finish, sweet curly tail and the simple character of a classic early farmyard figure.

The cheerful standing form gives this little pig a lovely sense of character, while the bright pink colouring and distinctive curly tail add a particularly appealing touch. The hand painted finish has naturally mellowed with age, giving the surface an authentic vintage quality.

Produced by Britains Ltd during the early years of its Farm Series, this figure reflects the company’s tradition of recreating familiar countryside animals in miniature. The straightforward modelling captures the recognisable shape of a traditional farm pig, while the painted detail gives it plenty of individuality.

There is something particularly appealing about these classic early farm animals, with their simple forms and connection to everyday rural life. This example has the charm of an original 1920s figure, with its aged paint adding to the sense of history without detracting from its cheerful appearance.

A classic early Britains pig with lovely pink colouring, a charming curly tail and all the character of traditional British farm figure production.
