They did little houses too, called Whimsey on Why. I have this little Tudor cottage.

Oh brilliant! That’s them! Thank you everyone ?
I wonder if you can still get them?
I can remember my tortoise vividly.

Hello!
Little glazed pottery animals; about 6cm long and quite chunky; lots of different ones; came in a little cardboard box.

They were in all the gift shops in the 70s and 80s.
As a little girl I had several, they were very pocket money friendly.

Who made them?
It’s driving me potty (pardon the rubbish ‘pun’)
