This is Single Oast from the David Winter Regions collection. David sculpted single, double and triple oasts. An oasthouse is essentially a farm building, typical in southern parts of England, used for drying hops. The distinctive conical-roofed buildings are raised drying floors over kilns.

This model was first introduced in 1981, restyled in 1985 and retired from production in 1993. The wind vane is made of plastic, after the original crystacal design proved to break too easily.

There is unfortunately a chipped area on the back of the Oast roof, which can be clearly seen in the pictures. At 4" tall and 4" wide, this cottage comes in the original box with the certificate of authenticity.
