A collection of 10 miniature glazed ceramic figurines manufactured by Wade Ceramics Ltd., England, as part of their popular Nursery Rhyme series, often referred to as Whimsies. These earthenware pieces depict various characters and scenes from classic nursery rhymes, including figures identifiable as Humpty Dumpty climbing a brick wall, the Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe (the boot), a house (The House That Jack Built), a seated woman, a fox or dog, and a hooded figure (likely Little Red Riding Hood). The figures are finished in characteristic brown, tan, cream, and green luster glazes, typical of English novelty ceramics from the mid-20th century. The pieces feature defined green-glazed bases. Visible molded text on the bases confirms the origin, typically reading MADE IN ENGLAND.
