Labeled English-made Pendelfin rabbits and display stands are widely collected in the UK, Europe and North America. At Thomson Roddick in Edinburgh in October 2023, a group of Pendelfin rabbits with display stands sold for £42 hammer (approx. $78 CAD) before buyer's premium. The named Pendelfin pieces, Bearware Pottery shakers, glassware and ceramic decor add to the lot's variety.
