A Collection of Four Bisque and Glazed Ceramic Figurines including Anthropomorphic Rabbits and British Birds - A collection of four decorative ceramic figurines featuring anthropomorphic and naturalistic subjects. The group includes a pair of anthropomorphic rabbits depicted in domestic scenes. One rabbit, wearing a bonnet and a red dress with a white ruffled collar, is seated in a yellow tufted armchair and engaged in knitting with yellow yarn and blue needles. The second rabbit is seated in a matching yellow armchair, wearing a green frock coat over red trousers and spectacles, depicted reading an open blue-covered book. Both rabbit figures are finished in a matte bisque glaze with hand-painted details. The collection also includes two naturalistic bird studies. One figure depicts a European Robin perched upon a textured branch accented with a single white blossom, mounted on a circular dark wood plinth. The second bird figure, featuring a long tail and grey-green plumage consistent with a Grey Wagtail, is modelled in a diving pose atop a rocky outcrop that includes a small snail detail. The wagtail figure features an orange adhesive label on the tail reading 69. No maker's names, factory marks, or signatures are legible on any of the pieces.
