Wade Ceramic Collectables

If you are like me you will constantly be dipping into reference books and surfing the net to find out about your favourite Wade whimsies and ceramic collectables. There is a lot of information out there but it can be hard to find the correct information at times.

One of the books I regularly use to look up information is:

Wade Collectables which is a Charlton Standard Catalogue by Pat Murray

It contains 400 pages in paperback form and was published in April 2007 so is bang up to date with all your Wade collectables. It is a comprehensive listing of many Wade items with valuations and black and white photographs of virtually each item.

The book has chapters on Wade animals, birds, characters, children’s sets, commemorative ware, Disney, figures, flowers, money boxes, teapots, Tetley tea, Ware Ireland, and wall decorations. In other words there is some Wade for everyone.

The Synopsis of the book goes:


Suitable as reference for collectors and dealers of pieces produced by George Wade, Wadeheath and Irish Wade potteries. This volume contains a cross-section of the most collectable items among the figurines, general issues, decorative ware, liquor containers, and more. Wade Whimsicals are also covered in a separate catalogue.

Wade American Red Rose Tea Miniatures

Due to the tremendous success of the Canadian Red Rose Tea Wade Whimsy promotions the geographical area was extended into the United States of America in 1983, where Red Rose Tea is owned by Redco Foods Ltd. The first American issue of the Red Rose Tea miniatures was a set of fifteen miniature animals.

The majority of these fifteen models were from the English Whimsies collection 1971-1984 and were given a single colour glaze make over. The exception was the squirrel and the hare, which were taken from the Tom Smiths British Wildlife series of 1986-1987. This first Wade Red Rose tea miniatures series finished in 1985 and it was during this same year that the second set of miniature animals began.

This second set of miniatures had already been offered in Washington earlier in 1982. Obviously they must have been the usual success as they were then rolled out in all the American States. These second issue Red Rose tea miniatures were similar to the highly popular first animal set, and once again contained fifteen single colour glazed animals all taken from either the English Whimsies or Tom Smiths Wildlife series.

In 1990 Red Rose tea added another five miniatures taken again from Tom Smith but this time from his Family Pets series of 1988-1989, to the second issue of animals to make a total of twenty miniature animals which comprised their third issue. In some parts of America the Red Rose tea miniatures were not included as premiums inside the tea boxes; instead collectors had to send the UPC code along with a small charge for postage in order to receive their model.

It was quite common for overlaps of issues to happen between states. Where one American state would be offering one specific issue of Red Rose tea miniatures another would be onto another. And this is what happened with issue four which began in 1992 whilst the third issue of miniature animals did not really finish until 1996.
