Of all the many Wade Whimsies figurines that have been produced , probably the most famous, recognizable & still (to this day) very popular series ever made would have to be the Canadian Red Rose Tea Nursery Rhyme Series or “Nurseries”. First introduced in 1971 the theme of this second promotion/series was based upon children’s nursery rhymes & fairy tales & became an instant success, it would run until 1979. All the figurines in this series were hand decorated & some very interesting variations can be found. There are 24 figurines in the set (plus variations) in total. 1063
