Platinum/Silver Wade NatWest Woody Piggy Bank

C&S have been aware of a smaller version of the Woody Pig in an all over platinum silver colour for some time (see picture) and are now able along with the Wade Collectors Club to show a photo of the piece for the first time. A C&S and Club exclusive. Wow. We wonder what he would sell for at auction? Produced only as samples, there are only believed to be three in existence.

New Jonah and the Whale Whimsies

admin — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 12:09:01 +0000

You may or may not remember the Biblical story of Jonah and the Whale but did you know that Wade made a figurine of Jonah back in 1955? It was part of their Novelty Animal Figurines Set that was modelled by William Harper. These were produced for only a short period and according to The World of Wade by Mike Posgay and Ian Warner, Jonah is the hardest of the set to find. Both Jonah and the Dustbin Cat another piece in the set, were produced at the Wade factory in Northern Ireland whilst Jumbo Jim, Kitten on the Keys and Bernie and Poo, the three remaining pieces that complete the set, were made at the Manchester Pottery in Burslem. Now we are to release a new whimsie of Jonah and the Whale. C&S are sure many Wade collectors would love to have an original Jonah in their collection. Well that may not be possible as they are extremely rare and the book price for an original is £750 and you have to find one first!

The C&S whimsie of Jonah and the Whale is a limited edition of 250 sets and cost £39.99 for the set of four plus £3.50 p&p. So invest now in this beautifully detailed set – let’s hope you find an original to go with them soon! The C&S whimsie is clearly marked with a Wade/C&S incised mark and the colours are different from the original so there can be no confusion. Delivery is expected August 2012.
