    Description
    I am offering a very rare animal figure made by WADE HEATH, England
    This is a seated WAVING PANDA
    Model 338
    This figure was produced to promote the arrival of Ming the Giant Baby Panda at London zoo in 1939
    Completely hand painted in white and black
    The facial expression is particularly wonderful
    Excellent vintage  condition, with no chips, cracks, hairlines, stains, other damage or restoration
    Typical glaze crazing although none stained or darkened
    The left ear has been modelled somewhat indented as opposed to the left which is an origiinal factory production flaw as it is completely painted over and completely covered in original glaze and due to its black color, is not visible unless examined closely
    Some areas of the feet are not as well painted in black - a testament to hand modelled items
    Measures 6 5/8" tall
    Marked with as shown in photo WADE HEATH in green with 338 impressed
    You can check internet references to see this panda model and the number are genuine and authentic
    Please ignore all white spots caused by camera flash
    What a great addition to your collection
    No reserve, so good luck in your bids
