Red Rose Tea's Wade "Animal Series" includes iconic miniature porcelain figurines. The figurines were made in England by Wade Ceramics and were included in boxes of Red Rose Tea. Over 300 million Wade figurines have been distributed in Red Rose Tea packages since 1967. Wade figurines are highly collectible today
The figurines are all 1 to 2 inches tall and are of a solid color. I believe the ones in this listing are all from the “Animal Series” collection. The figurines that are included in this listing are:
Fawn
Orangutan
Gorilla
Hippo
Wild Boar
Hedge Hog
Bush Baby
I believe the 7 figurines are in great condition. I see no chips, cracks, or other damage.
I will be listing several partial sets of Wade figurines, so if you are a collector, be sure to check my other items as I do combine shipping.
Buyer to pay USPS First Class Package Mail charges of $6.99. Shipping is from Arizona.
A personal note about shipping costs….
The shipping charges are set by the U.S. Postal Service.
Here’s the reason for the high charges….. Twice yearly, and again in November for the holiday season (so three times per year) the postal service increases shipping charges. This is what they call their "Delivering For America" plan in which they hope to become more profitable.
On top of the three increases, the postal service has now divided the nation in to 8 postal zones. Each time a package crosses into another zone, the price increases. I am in Arizona, so most all of my shipments pass through multiple zones.
It's a 10 year plan that the postal service started in 2021, so we've got years to go with multiple price increases of shipping charges each year. I fear seeing what the costs will be at the end of the plan.
I do combine shipping on multiple items purchased as long as all items can fit safely into a single box or envelope. However, my web host is not set up to calculate multiple item shipping costs. At checkout, you will be charged full shipping price on each item purchased and I will refund the appropriate amount of overpayment. If you are uncomfortable with that, you can send me an email with your zip code and stating which items you'll be purchasing and I'll calculate the correct combined shipping charges and send you a custom invoice.
INTERNATIONAL PURCHASES: Sorry, I do not ship to locations outside of the United States.
All items in my listings come from either estate or garage sales. I do not know if they came from homes where smoking or pets were present. All items are sold in the same condition as when I received them.
