Educational History from the Red Rose Tea website:
Nautical Wonderland Series (2012): "This series illustrates everything to love about the ocean, from the warmth and calm of the beach, to the adventure and spirit of sailing the seas, to the mysteries and legends of the sunken depths."
When Red Rose Tea began to offer Wade figurines in 1967, it wasn't uncommon to promote food and beverage items with free premiums. Even so, the success of Red Rose Tea figurines was unprecedented, boasting a production run for the first series of ceramic figurines that numbered in the millions. The miniatures soon became a perennial item in boxes of Red Rose Tea. To date, it is estimated that more than 300 million Wade figurines have been given away in packages of Red Rose Tea in America. George Wade came into ownership of Wade & Sons of Burslem, England in 1899, eventually renaming it George Wade Pottery. The style of Wade figurines known as “Wade Whimsies” first appeared in the 1950s, and have been a regular promotion in Red Rose Tea in the United States since 1983.
