Britains 1920s Standing Pink Pig Lead Farm Figure

A lovely 1920s Britains standing pig in hand painted lead, with soft pink and cream colouring and the sturdy proportions of a classic early farmyard figure.

The simple standing pose gives this pig a wonderfully recognisable character, while the soft pink and cream colouring brings a gentle warmth to the hand painted finish. The surface has naturally mellowed over time, giving the figure an authentic vintage patina.

Produced by Britains Ltd as part of its Farm Series, this early figure reflects the company’s tradition of modelling familiar livestock for miniature farmyard scenes. The carefully formed body and straightforward stance capture the quiet simplicity of traditional rural life, while retaining the individual character found in these early hand painted figures.

Measuring approximately 4 cm in length, this is a pleasing small scale example with enough presence to sit comfortably amongst other early farm animals. Its uncomplicated form and gentle colouring make it a particularly appealing representation of the classic Britains farmyard.

A handsome early Britains pig with soft colouring, classic proportions and the enduring character of a 1920s farm figure.
