Burslem ceramic collectibles maker Wade Ceramics is brewing up a storm with Tetley after designing and producing two new ceramic pieces for its collectibles range. The new Flying Tea Bag train moneybox and toast rack add to Tetley's extensive range of merchandise that features characters such as Gaffer, Sydney, Clarence, Archie, Tina, Maurice and Gordon from its famous Tea Folk. The train-shaped moneybox depicts Tetley mascot Maurice at the wheel while the hand-painted, royal blue ceramic toast rack can double up as a letter rack.

The pieces were launched at the Stoke-on-Trent Wade Collectors' Fair, and were accompanied by a special, limited-edition Gaffer Aeroplane which comes complete with gold propeller and gold Gaffers.
