Very cute. Thats a pretty cup and saucer too.
I have a little dutch boy that was my grandmothers. He was a salt shaker and when the other (a girl?) broke she put the boy on a broken clothes pin leg and in a plant. I somehow ended up with it now in one of my plants tho I have no idea how. She died when I was 13.

kathy,
when my hubbys grandma died I inherited a plant. She had used a HUGE antique knife as a plant stake! It had a wooden handle with a burn on it.Always wondered what she burnt that day!
The plant is no longer with us but I treasure that old knife

Love him! Don't you just love finding little things like that to use in plants and other garden junk!

Love the baby Brit. You are teaching me something really neat! Thank you. Never heard of the little tea box thingy. I just remember oatmeal boxes having a glass in them. Didn't detergent have a handtowel in it one time? susie

Yep Duz use to have striped towels and of course the Depression glass came in boxes of stuff

He may be British, but actually he is the Ringmaster in the Circus Series of Wade figurines from Red Rose Tea. How do I know that? I've been collecting them since the 70's :) He is cute!

Yes I have a huge collection of "Wade whimsies" lining the tops of woodwork around my house from the many boxes of red rose tea I've consumed over time. (The old vintage ones are really nice, back when they used to fire them in multiple colors.)

The ringmaster looks perfect in that little teapot!

Thanks for the info.Yes I have several that I have accumulated from g sales and decided these small plants are perfect ways to display them!

DUZ!!! Gosh... haven't heared that for ages!! My mother collected tons of those towels. Brings back memories.

He's so cute no matter who he is. And he can be a Brit if you want him to be. This IS GJ and we an be as creative as we need to be! I also like putting little knickknacks in my pots - who doesn't? ;-)

He IS a Brit. Wade figurines are made in England.

He is adorable. I have always had a penchant for "bitsies" as I called little figurines as a child. I don't remember the goodies in tea tins but I do remember the towels in Duz!
