Collectors, this Peregrine Falcon figurine is a really special piece from the Wade Red Rose Tea collection! It was part of their North American Endangered Series that ran from 1999 to 2002, making it a genuine vintage collectible. Wade is known for their high-quality ceramic figurines, and this peregrine falcon is no exception - the detailing is typically exquisite, capturing the majesty of these incredible birds of prey. The peregrine falcon itself is such a powerful symbol - known as the fastest animal on earth when diving for prey, and thankfully no longer endangered thanks to conservation efforts. As part of a tea promotion series, these figurines were highly sought after and many people collected the entire set. The ceramic construction gives it nice weight and that classic collectible feel. Whether you're completing your Wade collection, specifically collect bird figurines, or just appreciate the beauty of these magnificent birds, this is a lovely piece to display. It would look amazing on a bookshelf, desk, or in a curio cabinet. The vintage aspect (1999-2002) adds to its charm and collectibility. These Wade figurines have a dedicated following for good reason - the craftsmanship is consistently excellent. If you remember collecting these from Red Rose Tea packages or just discovered them later, this peregrine falcon is a beautiful addition to any collection and a wonderful tribute to one of nature's most impressive hunters.
