J. H. Weatherby & Sons Ltd. in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent produced a series of sturdy comical pottery animals which they called Zookies. The average height of a Zookie is four inches, but because of the nature of the modelling – they are stocky, chunky creatures – they appear much larger. Some of them seem to resemble popular Disney characters of the time, while others have comical faces and look just as though they’ve stepped from the pages of a child’s book. Most are colourful, and they all have a high gloss finish, similar to Wade products.


Zookie colouring varies considerably from piece to piece because they were hand-painted. The shading and blending of colours is impressive, the rich hues and glossy finish giving a pleasing appearance. Many of the pieces have interesting textures to indicate fur, feathers or fleece, and often the artist has skilfully emphasised this with his paints.


This vintage Rare Weatherby Zookie Cat Figurine with green ball of wool would be a delightful addition to anyones collection and is a must-have for collectors of vintage pottery and animal figurines with over 40 to collect. No chips or cracks. Please see photos as they do form part of the description and my other items as I will be selling a lot more of these figurines.
