Would like more information on these items. These are approximately 6 inches long (the longest one) the smaller 4 inches and 3 inches tall. They are marked on the bottom J Wilkinson Europe. Is this the same as A J Wilkinson also are there more? I have looked through eBay, google lens and Etsy. I did see a post on here with items with the same markings.
Thank you for your help. Mary
Any ideas, anyone?
Are there any marks underneath or on the feet? And iron stone? Are you saying it's cast iron?
Hi, :-)
I found some more J. Wilkinson hippo figures on Pinterest:

Unfortunately, that's all I could see, because I don't have a Pinterest account.
The markings on the bottom are written on, not stamped on to the pottery. It is not cast iron, more like pottery.
Here's another J. Wilkinson pottery hippo:

Here's a similar J. Wilkinson figurine:

Original vintage English ceramic sculpture. Bizarre and quirky this brightly colored ceramic sculpture depicts what appear to be 3 baby earthworms or ghosts being pull on a radio flyer cart. Signed underneath by the maker J Wilkinson this piece most likely dates to the 1970's. Each of the little characters have a hat with yellow bow ties except for the larger figure who has a yellow scarf.
Marked underneath: J Wilkinson England
