The company’s trademark blue-green glaze was a mistake, and when attempts by other Wade potteries to copy its unique characteristics failed, the Irish staff claimed they were aided by “leprechauns in the kiln.” The Irish Wade factory created the first sets of small, collectible ceramic animal figurines. Although they were marked “Made in England,” Irish Wade produced sets marked with even numbers and English Wade produced odd sets.</i>
