owl figure have numerous advantages, according to John Thomson, author of the excellent reference Calyx, Wembley Warn and Bristile China: ‘Both of these were sold as television lamps,’ he notes. ‘The dhufish, which stood mouth open on its tail, came in several sizes… and could also be used as a vase. Only one large size of owl was produced. It could be adapted to a novelty ornament by placing a small light inside its hollow body. This caused the amber and black glass eyes to glow menacingly.. The owl is listed in some Wembley Ware catalogues as a garden ornament when not sold as a lampstand.’ The dhufish lamp is marked Wembley Ware. whereas the owl lamp is marked Brisbane & Wunderlich. Both are electrically approved for use.

The factory also produced larger figures specifically to be used a garden ornaments, and these are now amongst the most sought after of Wembley ware. Besides the owl, this collection includes the magpie, kookaburra, eagle, frog and koala; Paul Bisby puts a value of between $1000 and $3000 on each of these ornaments, depending on condition.”
