Wade figurines or Whimsies have a fascinating history. In 1967, Brooke Bond Foods, the then-parent company of Red Rose Tea, contracted with George Wade and Son Ltd., a British ceramics manufacturer with roots dating back to 1867, to produce a line of miniatures to be included in specially marked boxes of Red Rose Tea in certain parts of Canada. The original 32 miniatures — known as “Whimsies” — were comprised of an assortment of animals. The company was pleased with the results, and launched a similar promotion in 1970, this time targeting the British market. In 1983, the company started including the miniatures in tea sold in the United States.
