Mark: None - Unmarked, possibly Wade or Wade-style British pottery
 
History: This yellow-glazed ceramic figurine depicts a goose in a preening pose, characterized by crosshatched feather texture and a slightly stylized body. The green base gives the impression of grass, adding charm and grounding the figure. The glaze appears to be high-gloss with some age-related crazing, consistent with production methods from the mid-20th century.
 
 
The hollow base and glaze style are reminiscent of Wade ceramics (UK), although no identifying mark is visible. Wade figurines were often produced for collectors and were popular in the UK and abroad. However, this specific figure lacks finer detailing typical of Wade’s branded output, suggesting it might be from a similar but more modest studio or made for export.
 
Flaws: None
