In 1967, Red Rose Tea Company of Canada, worked out a contract with Wade ceramics of England, a company founded in 1954, which built a strong reputation for producing several series of miniature ceramic creatures. Red Rose Tea contracted them to make special collectible miniature animals to act as premiums in the Red Rose Tea boxes. As 1983 rolled around, the series included 15 animals which were in high demand in the United States. They were often used in shelf units to display the animals, as they were collected. They were often traded to get the 15 animals in the set. Today they are still collected online.
