This piece is a fine example of Wemyss Ware craftsmanship. It's possibly the work of Karol Necola, who was brought to Wemyss pottery by owner Robert Heron from Bohemia. Karol passed away in 1915, and Edwin Sandland took over. In 1928, Karol's son, Joe Necola, assumed leadership before moving the pottery to Devon.

The pig is painted entirely in red, which was quite daring at the time. It's unclear which artist painted it, but it's unlikely to have been Joe, who was occupied with a significant commission from President Franklin D. Roosevelt, crafting a dinner service for the White House adorned with the US great seal in gold. Joe worked on this in Scotland and Devon until his death in 1952.

The Wemyss Ware legacy continues with Brian Adams.

Wemyss Ware was produced in Bovey Tracey, Devon, from 1930 to 1957 until a strike forced closure. Pieces are usually marked "Wemyss Plickta," but those signed by Brian Adams or Esther Weeks hold higher value. The brand was later acquired by Griselda Hill pottery, relocating production to Scotland.

Measuring 19 x 11 x 9 centimeters, this piece is in great condition, though unboxed. It's a tangible piece of Wemyss history.
