1950's Wade tailor nursery rhyme

Here is a 1950 Wade Tailor from the Nursery Rhyme series.

As i just said it is rom the 1950 and is very collectable.

The Nursery Rhyme Figurine Set were produced by Wade Heath & Company Ltd. It was one of a series of eight young boys dressed in adult costume based on the 1940's children’s rhyme “Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor, rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief.

The Tinker i have for sale is a hollow based figurine measuring approx 3 1/4" high and is signed Wade Tailor on the underside.

It is in perfect condition with no chips crack or crazing.

This item does not come up for auction often and would be a real shame to miss out.

The value of this piece is anything between £75.00-£150.00.

The wade company was established in 1810 by Henry Hallam and produced ceramic industrial fittings. The company moved to Burslem and it was taken over and called Wade & Colclough in 1867.[3] John Wade started his own company in 1887 called Wade & Co.[3]

By the 1940s there were three Wade pottery factories owned by brothers William, Albert J and George Wade, who were John Wade's three nephews.[3] A fourth factory was started in the 1950s in Ireland.

Wade became very popular especially in the late 80's and early 90's but is less so at present.
